Sponsor Activities

Operation Appreciation is in its first year of service and is in need of some sponsors to fully support the men and women of the 320th Field Artillary Regiment 4th Battalion. The immediate plan is to send care packages to these heroes of ours while they are deployed. It is vital that these soldiers have support and items from home to be with them on foreign soil to remind them of what they will be coming home to! The cost of these activities and supplies add up and when we are taking care of this many soldiers, spouses, and children.

During this deployment, serious research will be done on post traumatic stress disorder and its effect on the soldier, their families, and their lives after their tours overseas. As soon as we obtain more sponsors this dream of ours can really reach its full potential. Please help these soldiers during the holidays and their deployment. May God Bless Each and Every One of You!
