BASE® Employees Jump in to “Support the Troops”
BASE® employees jumped into the holiday spirit to “Support the Troops” that are currently stationed in Africa.
Employees chose what items they wanted to donate, ranging from Christmas decorations to shampoo.
Cindy Harrington, Director of Administration & Internal Operations, decided to get involved with “Support the Troops” after hearing it was nearly impossible for troops and their families to get Christmas decorations on base. “One of the items that they specifically asked for were Christmas decorations, so we are especially excited to send several boxes of lights, ornaments, etc.,” she said.
This is BASE®’s second time participating in the cause. “We remembered how it was appreciated by our servicemen and women. My cousin is currently working at a USO on the United States Naval Expeditionary base at Djibouti in the Horn of Africa and it seemed like a good time to organize this project again.”
There are currently about 4,000 troops stationed at this base from all branches of the military.
BASE® employees are excited to honor those serving overseas, and send them a little piece of home with Christmas decorations, candy, card games and other essentials! “With the things going on in our world currently, this just seems like such a small way to show our appreciation to those who serve our country.”
