Support Our Aggie Troops
Aggies across the country have been asking how they can show their support for our troops. The Association of Former Students is proud to announce an online message board where Aggies can write letters of support to troops on the frontline and abroad.
Go to http://www.AggieNetwork.com/TroopSupport to post your message. Upon review by Association staff, messages will be displayed online for the world to see. In addition, your messages will be shared with our troops through email communications and mailed care packages where possible.
The Support Our Troops pages also feature pictures and stories from Aggies serving on the front lines. You can browse the pictures and read stories from the troops and their families. If you or a family member or friend is serving in the military, please send pictures and stories to TexasAggie@AggieNetwork.com. We will post them to the Support Our Troops web site, and may use them in the Texas Aggie magazine.
Thank you for supporting Aggies in the military.
Make A Donation via the FW/TC A&M Club, too. See below for more info.
FW/TC A&M Club
Supporting Aggie Troops in the Military
The Fort Worth/Tarrant County A&M Club is sponsoring a "Support the Troops" drive for the military troops who remain stationed in Iraq. To offer support and boost morale, the Club will be collecting donations of items to send to the troops. The Club will take care of the shipping of these "care packages", but we would like as many Aggies to join this drive as possible. If you don't have time to shop for these items, the Club will accept monetary donations and do the shopping for you.
We'll keep sending packages as long as donations continue to arrive.
This is a great way to say "thanks" to the Troops and to spread the Aggie Spirit throughout the world.
The Club will accept "Support the Troops" care package donations at any/all of the Club events/activities mentioned in our newsletters.
For more information or to arrange to drop off items, please contact either Mike Miller or Keith Nelson.
