Adopt A Unit - Armed and Ready To Serve!

Our Hero's Are Home 

On October 13, 2012, the Georgia National Guard Troops who made up Task Force Hydra returned home from their mission in Afghanistan. And there was a contingent of Jr. Teen Council on hand to greet them at Lawson Air Field, Ft. Benning. 

It was very moving to see these men and women reunited with their loved ones, an experience that will not be forgotten. 

Check out the photos from that day below.  


 
ADOPT A UNIT:
 
Mission Accomplished!

Dear Ms. Caldwell, 
 
On behalf of the 648th Maneuver Endhancement Brigad, I would like to personally thank you and the columbus Regional Tennis Association Teen Council for your patriotic generosity. We were delighted to hear that the Teen Council wanted to support a local Georgia Army National Guard unit that was deployed and we are very grateful for the care packages and tennis equipment that you sent to our Soldiers. 
 
When a Soldier is deployed and days are long and hard, it is sometimes difficult to remember exactly why we are here. The Teen Council and their patriotic gesture is a remendous reminder of why we are over here -- to defend and preserve our America way of life for our fellow Americans. We have volunteered to serve and deploy because of Americans like all of you. It is because of you, we are willing to leave our loved ones behind to carry on the noble cause of fighting for peace and liberty. All of you, and your kind gesture, remind us of those reasons and embolden us to continue on as we know it is worth our effort and sacrifices. It is important to know our fellow Americans care and suppport those who are deending them. In general, our American military forces have not received this type of home front support since WWII. It is both humbling and an honor for us to serve for Americans like you. 
 
Enclosed you will find a Certificate of Appreciation from our Task Force, a flag certificate and flag that was flown over Camp Phoenix in honor of the CORTA Teen Council and hard and digital photo copies of our Soldiers with the care packages and tennis equipment. 
 
I would like to personally invite you and the CORTA Teen Council to the 648th Welcome Home ceremony which will occur mid-October. 
 
May God bless you all for your support to our Soldiers and may God bless America! 
 
Sincerely, 
Andy L. Hall
Colonel, IN
Commanding
