It has been a while since our last post. Things have been really busy throughout the summer! I just want to say thank you to all of you angels who have been working so hard supporting our heroes and veterans, particularly the National Volunteer Workshop, Family Days, Fundraising, Yellow Ribbon Events, letter writing, adoptions and more!!! We would not be successful without you!
With school back in full swing, it is time to start getting our students and future leaders involved again in supporting our heroes. A simple way everyone can get involved is to collect Pennies for Heroes! This a great project for kids and community organizations–you can donate your piggy bank, challenge your school, PTA group, teachers, parents, senior citizen centers, businesses, churches, radio & TV stations, and newspapers. Dig those pennies out from between the cushions, under the car mat, and inside your winter coat pockets!
Take your collected pennies to the bank, where they can be converted into a check or money order, then send it to Soldiers’ Angels 1792 E Washington Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91104.
God bless,
Tawney Tallo

Our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends of USMC Cpl. Joe Wrightsman of Jonesboro, La. KIA, 7-18-10 Afghanistan
On July 18, 2010 Cpl Wrightsman and his unit were on patrol in Northern Afghanistan along with some Afghan National Police. At a swift water river crossing one of the ANP was swept into the water. Cpl Wrightsman went into the river in a effort to rescue him, ultimately resulting in the drowning of both men.
