Beer for our troops
Living in Colorado I am pretty close to Fort Carson (60 miles) and think that we should get a group together to buy some (lots) of beer and deliver to the troops when they get back to Colorado and before they go back to Montana.
Casey still needs to get approval but this might help his CO if we just show up with Ice Cold Beer, how could he say no?
Public welcome to see 639th off
Montana guardsman of the 639th Quartermaster Company ship out of Kalispell for their deployment station in two groups today and Wednesday.
Capt. Orlin Strom, commander of the 639th, said a group of 75 soldiers will leave at 8 p.m. today from the Montana National Guard/Reserve Armory on U.S. 93 South. They depart by bus for Missoula, where they will take a flight to Fort Carson, Colo.
A second group of about 43 is scheduled to leave at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday from Glacier Park International Airport.
Strom said family and friends are welcome to help send off the troops at either location. He invited the public to come to the armory beginning at 6:30 p.m. to support the troops leaving by bus for Missoula.
Experts in fuel and water supply and equipment maintenance, the 639th Quartermaster Company will perform a variety of supply missions for up to 18,000 soldiers as part of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
The unit goes first for training in Fort Carson before shipping out to Kuwait, and could serve a year or longer in the Middle East.
Well near the end of Feb it will be one year. I am wondering how many additional people are intrested in supporting us by buying these men a beer when they get back?
Want to join?
