5. BARRACKS
ADVENTURES...
What your FRG is up to...
Throughout the month of August the FRG got together to help welcome TF
Wolfpack single soldiers home by getting their barracks rooms ready for their arrival.
One would think this would be simply done... but not when we remember we’re a
Taskforce!
Each of our troopers got their bed made with new sheets, a rack pack of
personal hygiene supplies from the USO, a bag of snacks & 2 bottles of water from
Fayetteville cares and our volunteers’ contributions, and a welcome home message.
Thank you again to all the volunteers who came out to help over, and over, and
over again!! We appreciate you!!!
