Click here 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.

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! 🎄 TIAG Spreads Christmas Cheer to Military Families!

Some of them had not made gingerbread houses in 30 years! All who attended received stockings, fleece blankets, socks, hygiene items and more.
