C of C Historian's Project

Hi Everyone,

My name is Gabby Vasek and I'm a member of Lee's Traveller Chapter 957 and Historian for the Texas Division Children of the Confederacy.  My division project has been approved and Ms. Deena Harrison is helping me make plans for the visit to D.F.W. airport to greet returning soldiers and give them our gifts.

I would like for all of you to join this effort to give our American heroes a "Welcome Home" gift.  This gift is a package of Gummy Lifesavers with an attached poem that will be given to the soldiers as part of their welcome home package.  As soon as I know what date we will be joining the welcome home effort at D.F.W. Airport, I will let you know.  I hope we can all plan to attend.

You may help by donating packages of Gummy Lifesavers or making a monetary donation to cover the cost.  I will collect the donations and attach the thank you notes.

Below is the wording for our gift to our heroes.
 

You Are A Lifesaver
Liberty, Independence, Freedom, Eagle
Service, American, Victory, Equality, Respect

Thank You to Our Heroes
You are the ones who love the red, white and blue.
Willing to give all to make sure you are true.
To freedom and justice - the American Way!
You are homeland defenders by night and by day.

We love and respect you as you stand for what's right.
May God bless and keep you safe as you fight the good fight.
Because of you we're the Land of the Free!
Because of you may it always be!


If you would like to join this effort by participating in providing the gifts or making the trip to DFW Airport, please contact me.  I appreciate your help.
