Yellow Ribbon event @ the Doubletree Hotel in Austin

I know, I should have posted this weeks ago! Back on Saturday, August 14th, there was another Yellow Ribbon event for another unit within the 36th Infantry Division of the Texas Army Nation Guard. This time, it was at the Doubletree Hotel located along I-35 just across the interstate from Highland Mall.

This time, we had four Angels there to help out! It was great to be there, but we didn't have as much traffic as we did at the Renaissance back in July. The logistics at this hotel weren't as good: the big room where they had the sessions for the soldiers and their families was not right next to where the tables for the exhibitors were set up. I can't help but wonder how many of the soldiers and their families never really realized we were there. Don't know that there was any way around this particular set up, with how the hotel is laid out.




Thanks SO much to Melissa, Terri and Judy for joining me in representing Soldiers' Angels to the soldiers and families of the 36th ID. And, good luck to this particular group of soldiers who will be heading out to Afghanistan soon.
