CTE students and staff speak with airman they sent gifts to

CTE students and staff had the opportunity to hear from Senior Master Sergeant Richard Gage today, via Zoom.

In December, students and staff from WEMOCO collected s’mores ingredients and greeting cards to send overseas to SMSgt. Gage and his troop in Bagram. Sixteen boxes, fully loaded with graham crackers, Hershey’s chocolate bars and bags of marshmallows were received by the troop on December 30. 

During the Zoom call, SMSgt. Gage shared his story of deployment. He told stories of what he and his troop went through, answered questions from students and showed a video montage of his troop overseas and their return home.

He also read a letter, detailing how much his troops appreciated the s'mores gift from WEMOCO students. He honored WEMOCO with a certificate of appreciation and an American flag, which flew during one of their missions. To watch the "thank you" portion of the call, click here: https://bit.ly/3cay6KL.
