On 7/15, GADFS held their 2nd monthly family support supper at St. Matt's church. Once again, parishioners and community members prepared a bountiful feast! With 4 military families in attendance, 2 preparing for deployment and 2 having experienced deployment, there was much to share. Lisa Aldridge, Transition Assistance Advisor, provided a very helpful overview of package-sending do's and don'ts as well as a general mailing timeline. As we went around the tables giving our names and reasons for attending, hearing the children proudly state, " I am here because my daddy is in the military" sincerely touched my heart.
