City of La Habra ~ Supporting Those Who Serve

The City of La Habra is a city located in Northern Orange County California.

La Habra is also a city with a big heart.

The City of La Habra in conjunction with the group America Supporting Americans program has adopted an Airborne Division of the "Screaming Eagles". Recognizing the Charlie Company 46 of the 101^st Airborne Division, the city is proudly supporting the fine men and women serving in the Armed Forces. Read more here on the support of the city.

Charlie Company 426 is a medic unit led by Commander Craig Reuscher. Their unit of more than seventy members is to provide medical logistics.

Fort Campbell, Kentucky is home to this unity. They are expected to be deployed to Iraq early this fall of 2007.

The City will be sponsoring a donation drive to send care package items to the unit. To see more information on this project you can contract the city here.

Learn more about this unit by visiting the FRG ~ Family Readiness Group, a site that provides family support. See how La Habra, CA is represented on the 101st. website.

As a proud American I feel it's important for all of us to support the men and women in the service of our country for their sacrifice. We also need to remember and support the loved ones left behind. God Bless them all.

If you live in another area other than La Habra, CA there is a wonderful way to you add your support for our troops through Operation Gratitude. This worthwhile organization began with the inspiration and dedication of one very remarkable woman Carolyn Blashek. Please check out the Operation Gratitude website, there are so many ways to help. Have a community or youth group? Click here to see how you can be involved.

You help is needed for Packing:

November 10-11 (Veteran's Weekend)
November 23-24 (Fri and Sat of Thanksgiving)
December 15-16 (300,000th Package on Saturday Dec. 15)
December 29-30 (Saturday and Sunday)

Please check out this informational website at Operation Gratitude and see how many ways you can be involved. This photo is one that I took at the last Operation Gratitude packing event.

Lynda-That is such a great way for La Habra to say thanks to those men and women. How did a city in California hook up with a unit from Ft. Campbell? I think it is awesome that they are being recognized.
