AFSFA along with others contributed AFSFA logo gifts and MSgt Jason Adams offered the following thanks: "The gifts received from you and Pete Piazza, John Probst at the AFSFA, Dave Broeker at the VDHA, Greg Cain, Sheila Gervase-Cain, and Van and Joyce Digby at the VSPA were a huge hit and made a major difference in the success of National Police Week here at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to cancel the ruck march and the retreat service, however we were still able to hold our opening ceremony, 5K Memorial run, police equipment/weapons/vehicle display and MWD demo, and the Defender's Challenge. We decided to use the donated gifts as prizes for the top finishers of the 5K run. And as you can see from the photos, we had a fantastic turn out! Thank you all for the donations, and thank you for your support to all of Defenders down range. Many of us will begin rotating back to the US in June and July, and thanks to you we have "left our mark" on this rotation. Again, thank you all."
