LAKEPORT, Calif. – There was a full house of troop supporters for the June packing party for Operation Tango Mike.
Members of the Xi Rho Psi sorority of Beta Sigma Phi presented a donation, saying they hoped to make the contribution a quarterly event.
Sgt. Nelson Gonzalez dropped by for a visit, much to the delight of everyone, but most especially to the young children who were very excited to meet the soldier.
He graciously posed for pictures with his young fans and, giving the limited information he is allowed, let the crowd know that our local soldiers will be deploying in the near future.
He expressed his gratitude for everyone’s support and continued participation in Operation Tango Mike.
Many members of 4-H joined in the fun, packing boxes and decorating them with messages of support. Several veterans, including members of the Military Funeral Honors Team pitched in alongside folks from all walks of the Lake County community. It was another joyous evening of folks coming together for a common good.
