Welcome Home the 173rd Sky Soldiers

Help us Welcome Home the 173rd, 2-503 Army Airborne Battalion when they return to their home base at Camp Ederle in Vicenza, Italy after a 15 month deployment in Afghanistan where they lived and fought in horrendous conditions. Since there is no local American community in Italy to put on a Heroes welcome for them we'll take it to them from here. Very few of the Soldiers will be returning to family or loved ones there in Italy. By far the majority of soldiers are single, with no family to welcome them back home or support to assist them in transitioning from war and death to peace and recuperation.

The Welcome Home Celebration will be held in Italy Sept 25, 2008.

We only have a few more weeks to raise the remainder of the funds necessary to make this a Welcome Home worthy of these great Soldiers. Please join us in donating for the WELCOME HOME CELEBRATION for the 173rd 2-503 SKY SOLDIERS by clicking on either the "Donate" button at the top of this page or the Paypal link at the bottom right.
