          “The Green Berets”

 

October 10, 2024

Hello Members and Friends of the Association,

1) Beloved Leader President Pijuan asks if you all are Okay and, if not, please let us know and if there is anything within our power to do, we will work on it or attempt to coordinate with others to assist.     

 

2) Dear Special Forces Community,

 

The Special Forces Charitable Trust (SFCT) and the Special Forces Association (SFA) recently partnered to provide critical support to Special Forces Families and their communities affected by Hurricane Helene.

 

With the beginnings of Hurricane Milton now approaching Florida, we are urging all Green Berets living in Florida or those outside of area with immediate family in the area who may be impacted by the storm to stay in touch with us after it passes so that we may be just one more line of effort in getting you help if you find yourself in need. Our organizations are connected to many resources in the area and can work to navigate getting the help you need to you either through local resources or through the volunteer operations our organizations we have on the ground staged in the outlying areas.

 

AFTER the storm has passed, we ask that you:

 

1.     Text the word "relief" to 205-947-2131 You will be prompted to choose either

A.    If you need assistance (enter your address -able to text at that thread)

 

B.    If you are safe (can text afterward to update your status if needed)

 

Our organizations are committed to the health, well-being and safety of Special Forces Soldiers, their families, and their communities. By utilizing the text "relief" option, it's one more way in which to potentially get help to you. While cannot guarantee, we will reach you, rest assured we will make every effort to get assistance to you if you choose option A.

 

Please share this email with fellow Special Forces families to help spread the word.

 

Your safety is our top priority, and we are here to assist you the best we can during this time. Run from the Water, Hide from the Wind,
