As Fightin Focus..and part of the 77th Artillery Regiment Association...Let's Support the 77^TH ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION
TROOPER SUPPORT PROGRAM
Battery B, 1^st Battalion, 77^th Field Artillery deployed to Kuwait in mid-August 2001 for approximately six months. While peacekeeping, the soldiers experience separation and disruption of their lives. To at least partially compensate for this, the Association has established a ‘TROOPER SUPPORT PROGRAM’ This mission you, other Association members, any that wish to participate, can perform from home at your leisure. Only a few minutes required every few weeks.
Not only will the "FALCONS FIRST!" soldiers be aware of your support, you will feel the pleasure of having done something for YOUR 77^th Artillery Association. This is among the reasons the 77th FA Association exists, as Doc says.
Essential details of the operation are below.
Questions or further suggestions, please contact the Association at 660-882-5390 or via E-mail at rebosma@mid-mo.net. If you have access to the internet, information on our TROOPER SUPPORT PROGRAMcan be found at the Association’s web site address: http://www.77fa.org.
soldiers indicate they need and will greatly your letters, cards, and "Packages". Newsy type letters interesting clippings are passed around and enjoyed by all.
Letters from school children about themselves,their classes and asking about the area of Kuwait where our soldiers are posted and the Kuwaitis will receive priority responses.
Members of Veterans Organizations in your area,and some residents in retirement homes may also be interested in this program so please provide copies of this document and distribute to them.Although the unit will have access to a fairly well-stocked PX with items for personal care, snacks, and some reading material, among the items that the ‘Falcons First!’would enjoy are: newspapers (even old), sports, automobile, fitness, computer, and other magazines etc., paperback books, music cassettes, VCR movies (standard U S video cassettes), disposable razors, board games, playing cards, jigsaw puzzles, footballs, volleyballs, softballs, and, of course, the always welcome homemade cookies and candy.

PLEASE NOTE:

Packages containing tobacco products, alcohol, weapons or ammunition, sexually oriented material and the like are not acceptable by either U S or Kuwaiti governments! Your imagination and recollections of your service, years past in foreign lands will give ideas for more useful and appropriate items.
