Korengal Valley photos-173rd Airborne 2-503rd

The 173rd is still out there!!! Don't forget to support the homecoming celebration!!!

Folks can be a part of the Welcome Home party by sending contributions to:

173rd Sky Angels Fund

PO Box 164

Cheboygan, MI 49721

ALL funds are going toward a great party for the 2/503rd.

We want Matthews's comrades to know that us folks here in the States care about them and want to give them a Welcome Home party, and since we can't bring them here to the states, then we will bring the party to them. To honor them and to honor the memory of the 30 173rd Sky Angels lost this deployment.

With much Gratitude for your continued support of all our troops!
