1. Our Regiment has asked for our support in two important events in the lives of the Troopers.
First, 1/221 Cavalry completes their Afghanistan rotation in late March 2010 and wish to provide "Wellington Combat Spurs" to their 760 returning heroes. We will make every effort to solicit funds for our NVNG roundout squadron.
Second, the Regimental Spring Ball will be held in Las Vegas at the end of March 2010 and they have asked for any financial assistance we might be able to generate to helpreduce the costs for Troopers. This assistance is reserved for Troopers only. Our help would be used to reduce the individual Trooper hotel room cost.
