December 12, 2023 Patrick Space Force Base, Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA.
The 45th Space Wing Civil Engineer Squadron Base Operations Unit Christmas Party was a great success! Sponsored by Operation Christmas For Our Troops & Their Families we were able to get wonderful Toys and Gifts. We helped pay for the food and beverage costs for the Guardians, Airmen, their families and military children.
But WE NEED YOUR HELP with sending the Toys and Gifts we collected for their 160 Military Children! We estimate the UPS shipping costs to be between $2200 to $2600. You can help us bring more Christmas cheer and great military family memories for America’s 6th and newest branch go to https://wp.yellowribbonamerica.org/donate/ and donate today!
