Troop Talk
All across the nation, all across the world, the lives of many have been positively impacted by volunteers. The Fort Bliss community is not exempt from the positive impact of these outstanding individuals. During the past year, volunteers have contributed more than 150,000 hours in an effort to make our community a better place. The volunteers of Fort Bliss greatly impact such programs as Child and Youth Services, Religious Activities, unit family readiness groups, the USO and many more.
Year after year, volunteers show their dedication and commitment to Soldiers and family members of the Fort Bliss community. It is now our time to show how much we appreciate their contributions. In recognition of their allegiance to our community, we will honor our volunteers by celebrating National Volunteer Week from April 27 through May 3. The week’s theme, “Celebrate Volunteers,” reflects our appreciation beyond simply saying “thank you” but celebrates them and their contributions to improving the quality of life for Soldiers and families.
I invite the entire Fort Bliss community to join me in celebrating one of our most valuable assets – the volunteer. Take time to personally recognize those volunteers who make your organizations stronger.
