ANGEL EYE VIEW

      
 Dear Angels and Friends,
Welcome to “Angel-Eye View,” our new weekly email designed to keep you informed on Angel projects and events, and to offer you more opportunities for involvement and feedback!
Summer seems to be the busy season for Angel activities and it is so exciting to see the many ways people are working together to support the troops!  From children’s birthday parties to city-wide events, from one person to a Summer seems to be the busy season for Angel activities and it is so exciting to see the many ways people are working together to support the troops!  From children’s birthday parties to city-wide events, from one person to a multi-office company, patriots across the country are stepping up with big hearts and creative spirits to show their heroes the homefront remembers them.  Banding together, they multiple their efforts—the only limit seems to be how big they can think!  Check out the News page at www.soldiersangels.org/past-news.html for some of the latest stories of Angels making it happen: 
          Portland Goes Angel – a city gets in on the act
           Little Birthday Angels Lead – children know what matters
          Sabre Systems Stands for the Troops – a company steps up again
          IBM Angel Shines – one person reaches out to thousands of co-workers

…and there are so many more!  Keep your eyes open for upcoming stories about 200 young people at a packing party, Blue Star Mothers at work, and busy Angels on a naval aircraft carrier! 
In addition to big, splashy events, Angels are quietly doing everyday things to raise funds for the troops--like saving money.  CellarAngels.com and SoldiersAngels.Sale.com are the two most recent ways to purchase things you want or need while supporting the troops, but there’s an entire page  full of companies who donate a percentage of purchases or offer discounts for Angels/troops: www.soldiersangels.org/discounts-for-soldiers-angels.html.  In the Pacific Northwest, Angels are descending on Applebee’s to dine for dollars (soldiersangelswashington@gmail.com for details). 
From bands of Angels doing amazing feats, to individuals who make every cent count by buying from companies that support the troops, it all adds up to big things for our heroes.  Please consider how you can step up and stand wingtip-to-wingtip with other patriotic Americans to do something special...
