Supporting Our Troops
Many of us don’t notice the world outside of our own. We often journey robotically through our daily routines; wake up, drop off the kids, go to work, dinner, activities, bed … repeat. The Ad Victoriam Solutions (AdVic) team stepped away from their daily routine of supporting our clients, to support our troops.
Our troops leave their spouses, children, friends and jobs to answer the call to something much bigger than themselves. The AdVic Georgia-based team assembled a large care package for our troops deployed overseas. The team purchased and shipped more than 75 pounds of essential goodies, such as razors, mouthwash, shampoo, and lotion and also some basic comforts of home, gum, candy, playing cards and beef jerky to the Georgia National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team deployed abroad.
We chose this particular combat team to support our our CTO, Brian Mize, who currently serves as their Battalion Chaplain to their more than 14,000 soldiers. Mize helps soldiers adjust to life overseas, providing guidance and counseling to our brave men and women protecting our freedom and the freedom of the local people. We want Mize to know how much he is missed, and hope that sending Mize goods to distribute to his Battalion will help him accomplish his mission as Chaplain.
“We know Brian, and all of the troops, left behind loved ones and friends and the little comforts of home that we all take for granted. This is a small gesture, but we hope it brings a smile to their faces and reminds them how grateful we are. While we look forward to Brian’s safe return, we realize the importance of his current mission and are proud to call him our coworker, teammate and friend. And want to support him any way we can.”
If you or your company would like to organize a similar event to support our troops, contact us, we would be happy to help.
