Christmas Toys for Children

I hope each of you had a satisfying and gratifying Thanksgiving Season! Wecan all be thankful for all that we have, including oportunities and serve, as Americans and members of the Texas State Guard Medical Brigade.

Christmas is right around the corner. It is the season for giving because of the Gift that was given that first Christmas. The Chaplains from the Regiments are collecting toys for children at area hospitals. You may want to support their efforts by buying one or more toys and taking them to the locations that are on this link.

Perhaps you are already doing this, are making donations through your religious faith group or a seculate organization. That is wonderful! This program is meant to complement what soldiers are doing, not to compete or take the replace your gift giving.

On behalf of the Commanding General of the Medical Brigade, BG Fernandez, have a safe and blessed Christmas!

In His Service,
Lyle Metzler
CH(COL), TXSG
Brigade Chaplain
