May No Soldier Go Unloved
Book I in a series...
Supporting Fort Hood
Soldiers’ Angels is assessing the needs and--with our founder currently residing in Texas--standing by to offer physical and emotional support to our heroes and their families at Fort Hood.
RIGHT NOW: Collecting encouraging notes and NEW stuffed animals for the families and children of the injured or killed. Please send cards/letters and stuffed animals (and anything NEW that may brighten the life of a child) to:
Plans are still developing, but the goal is to give these families and injured heroes something big to smile about when Christmas rolls around. It starts with the $2,000 gift certificate for Christmas for an experience on Christmas Day that will make them forget about it all for at least a little while. To contribute to the effort, click the donation button in the upper left and add type "For Ft. Hood" in the comment box that pops up (donations marked this way will be used only for Ft. Hood survivors).

Dogs trained to interact with people in need of emotional support are proving very useful for veterans with severe physical or emotional wounds (i.e. PTSD). Under the guidance of Patsy Swendson, Soldiers' Angels is developing a team of "Support Dogs." This is one of the first two dogs of the new team in action.

Since being crowned Miss Teen Minnesota International in 2009, a position she will hang onto until March 6, 2010, 17-year-old Jessica Scheu has been promoting her platform – Soldier’s Angels – and its message: “May no soldier go unloved.” In her work with Soldier’s Angels, Scheu adopted a soldier who she corresponds with by writing letters and sending care packages. She also participates in the Ladies of Liberty program, which supports women soldiers during deployment, and the Warriors to Citizens military program based in Farmington. |
