Deck the Halls with Honor
Last Thursday, the Soldiers' Angels team in Orlando brought together volunteers, Veterans, and Service Members for a wonderful holiday celebration: Deck the Halls with Honor, sponsored by Lockheed Martin.
The event featured a DJ, a photo booth, fantastic door prizes, and a delicious buffet. Our volunteers went above and beyond hosting and decorating their tables, creating a warm and festive atmosphere! They filled the room - 140 strong.
Due to the overwhelming interest in the holiday party, the Orlando Soldiers' Angels team scheduled another Deck the Halls luncheon party to ensure more Veterans and Service Members can join in the holiday cheer.
🎄 Making Spirits Bright! 🎄
Wesleyan School’s Boys’ Basketball Team adopted a Military family this holiday season. The players’ parents generously donated, and the boys wrapped gifts and met Tryesha and her kids to hear her story. Thanks to these young athletes, the family received everything on their wish list, a gingerbread house kit, and a $100 gift card to put toward their holiday meal.
🎁 Stockings Reach Our Heroes! 🎁
Thank you to Aristoi Classical Academy for their incredible support of Soldiers’ Angels Holiday Stockings for Heroes! During last weekend’s drill, students and their PTO from Aristoi Classical Academy handed out over 150 stockings to National Guard Soldiers in Houston. It was a special opportunity for the students to meet the Soldiers, get a peek inside their vehicles, and hear firsthand about their service. Thank you for spreading holiday cheer to those who serve!
🎄 Stockings Are Reaching Deployed Too!
Photos are just starting to roll in from deployed who received holiday stockings! Like this great photo and quote from Bruce: "Thank you for thinking of us deployed! It means a lot getting so much love and support. It’s tough being away from home, family, and friends, especially during the holidays."
Holiday Cheer for Veterans: Thank You, CBRE!
Thank you to CBRE who generously created 200 holiday gift bags for Soldiers' Angels to share with in-patient Veterans at the West Palm Beach VA. Each bag is filled with goodies to spread holiday cheer and a Thank You card to let our heroes know they are appreciated. This thoughtful gesture brings a little extra joy to our Veterans during the holiday season. Thank you, CBRE, for making a difference!

Soldiers' Angels Helps a Veteran Mom Receive the Gift of Reliable Transportation!
This week in Houston, Soldiers' Angels had the honor of nominating a female Veteran and single mother to receive a refurbished vehicle through the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides program!
Her commitment to her family and her service to our country made her the perfect candidate for this incredible gift. Thanks to the NABC, Eagle Collision, and Enterprise, she now has reliable transportation to care for her family and build a brighter future. We are deeply grateful to everyone involved in making this life-changing moment possible! 🚗💝
And Another Recycled Rides Gifted to a Dallas Army Veteran!
Army Veteran Timothy received the gift of transportation thanks to Texas Collision Center, Enterprise, GEICO, NABC's Recycled Rides, and Soldiers' Angels! Timothy, who had been unable to visit his two brothers for 10 years due to a lack of transportation, will now have the opportunity to visit and reconnect in his refurbished 2018 Hyundai Sonata!
Denver Team Spreads Holiday Cheer to Veterans at Valor Point
This week, our Denver team brought holiday cheer to the Veterans at the Valor Point Domiciliary! They hosted a festive celebration featuring a delicious meal, fun games with prizes, and the highlight of the day—decorating gingerbread houses and making ornaments! Some of them had not made gingerbread houses in 30 years!
All who attended received stockings, fleece blankets, socks, hygiene items and more. They were especially thankful for the blankets because they said it's cold in the dorm rooms!
It was a heartwarming event that spread joy and made the season brighter for those who served. 💝
