FashionLedge.com Supports Our Troops
Written by Kenyatta D. Pious
FashionLedge.com had a great opportunity to support
our troops for a recent holiday fashion show in
Iraq by providing clothing such as Rocawear as
well as pre and post show media support.
According to Courtney Gary, “The goal
was to present a show for Soldiers by Soldiers
on Thanksgiving, which happened to be the second
Thanksgiving our unit spent away from home. We
did our best to create a mood that transported
the viewer to some place other than Iraq and of
course provide entertainment.”
Courtney is part of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team,
1st Cavalry Division based out of Ft. Hood Texas.
In Iraq we were located in International Zone
in Baghdad on Foward Operating Base Prosperity
where the show took place. The show had 18 models
participate, all Soldiers in the Army of varying
ranks.
While FashionLedge.com’s support is nominal
when one considers the great personal sacrifice
that our soldiers undertake to secure a future
for all us, we are delighted that we were able
to do a small part in bringing a smile on our
deserving extended family.
