Geronimo

Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 509th Infantry (Airborne) recently received over 200 "T-Shirts for Troops".

3-509th (ABN) is partnered with the local Iraqi Army, Police, Highway Patrol, and Government to prevent sectarian violence and create a stable security environment. Ft. Richardson, Alaska is the stateside home of the 509th.

Captain Edward Jackson, Chaplain of the Geronimo's graciously distributed the t-shirts to the men and women in his unit. Chaplain Jackson sent the following email:

The soldiers really liked the shirts
and they appreciate
what you guys have done for us…

Sorry about taking so long to get back with you
but we have been in the process of moving
from Camp Fallujah back to FOB Kalsu
which is south of Baghdad.

I will send you a couple of photos here in
the next couple of hours…
I am going to send you a poster in about a month or so,
so be looking for it in the mail

Thanks
Edward Jackson
