For over a year our group has sent care packages to Sgt De La Garza in Iraq. What a thrill it was on Aug. 16 to join the Patriot Guards, his family and friends, and many citizens in downtown Rockport to welcome him home.
Since Spring of 2005 our neighborhood group, led by Carla Reed, has sent over 6651 care boxes to our troops in the Middle East. Volunteers from Rockport, Corpus Christi, Mathis and even other states gather in Carla's home each month. Her passion for supporting these young Americans has kept the project strong. Visits from some of the returning soldiers receiving care boxes reaffirm our resolve to honor these heroes who give so much to keep America free.
