AFSC Volunteers Meet-n-Greet “America’s Battalion,” USMC
The AFSC received a call from Iraq, asking for assisting Marines en route to their next assigned destination. The Marines greatly appreciated all the efforts put forth by the AFSC, MAC, USCBP, TSA, Guest Supply, and Pearson’s Candy. There were happy sighs of appreciation for the Minnesota Twins bags of treats, Girl Scout Cookies, cupcakes, and toiletries, not to mention the opportunity to shave and smoke! The best compliment we received was from a young Marine who said, “this is a very humbling experience to see that so many Americans care!”
Special thanks go to the following people who joined us for the meet and greet:
MAC personnel, TSA personnel, Airport Police, Jeanne Morford, Patti Carr, Dean & Marilyn Greethurst, Georgeann Ozbolt, Ted Hoeben, Jeanette Roedler, George Lewis, Bob Nelson, John Schleck, Karen Johnson, Len Zabilla, Tom Dooley, Steve Moore, Susan Rasmussen, and Char Rholik.
The following volunteers kindly offered to stuff bags: Barb Dell, George Patton, Virgil Eckstrom, Fred Crawford, Karen Hodge, Dorothea Johns, Jerry Connolly, Merlin Shank, Annie Olson, and Janis Eastman.
