Keesler wing supports deployed reservists

Published Nov. 13, 2009

KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- During the first weekend of November, volunteers for the 403rd Wing Key Family Member Program packed supplies to give to reservists deployed overseas.

Many of the deployed reservists are living in austere locations where the requested supplies are in short supply. Candy, coffee, batteries, shampoo and toothpaste were among the assorted items collected for the care packages.

Members of the wing in the United States along with people in schools, churches and other organizations from all over the Mississippi Gulf Coast donated supplies for the deployed Citizen Airmen.
