Fund Raiser for Our Valiant Heroes

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Spc. Ryan Drahman met me on a flight in July and I have been supporting him and his medivac unit ever since. They are one of the units who will benefit from this fund raiser for the holidays. (Ryan said this photo was taken by a media photographer, I do not know his name.)

This Saturday, 16 October, from 12 to 5pm (that is 1200 to 1700 for you military folks!  haha), you are invited to my first ever FUND RAISER for the valiant heroes I am supporting overseas.

Where:  Valley Tavern, 21 Chimicum Road, Port Hadlock, WA

What to expect:  My oldest sister (Nancy) has orchestrated a fund raiser for me to help raise money for the heroes I am currently supporting in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are partnered with the manager (Cindy) of the Village Tavern for the event, and are planning BBQ and all the “fixins” . What is my role?  To meet as many people as possible… help wherever I can … and of course, schmooz (hehehe) …

After all, I am a flight attendant … I can deliver beer and food all day long! haha

Put on those rubber duckies, and come join us .. rain or shine!   :0

 So … if you want to see my pretty face (because you live in the area and are a friend, and miss me (hehehe) …

or you want to meet “The Sky Angel” face to face   😮  …. 

or you just like good old fashioned BBQ with a bunch of people who support our troops  😮 ….

PLEASE COME BY.  😮   

Of course, if you are a veteran, or current military member, we want to meet and thank each of you face to face !!!  😮

Spc. Ryan Drahman's medivac unit rescued some fellow soldiers, who were wounded in battle, and captured holding hands to comfort one another. (Ryan said this was another photo taken by the same media photographer, I do not know his name.)

 Bring your friends, family, co-workers (you get the idea) …. please feel free to repost this message, and of course, if you cannot make it, you can send donations to my address below.   There will be a silent auction (so if you want to donate an item for this, please contact Cindy at the Village Tavern) … Remember, ALL proceeds equate to donations that will go directly to the troops I support (in Iraq and Afghanistan) via care packages I will be sending to our valiant heroes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

 Bring your check books, cash, appetites, smiles, and hugs … and let’s have a fantastically fun time while we show support to our brave men and women who sacrifice so very much for our every day freedoms.      Also … please take time to write a Christmas (or holiday) card for a hero serving overseas, and I will be sure to include it in my packages, too! Encouragement from back “home” means the world to the members of our Army, Navy, Marines, National Guard, Air Force, and Coast Guard! It is my goal, through these efforts and getting others involved in “adopting” a service member on deployment, that none of them EVER feel alone on the battlefield, or when they return home! Can’t wait to see you there … amongst the beauty of the mountains, ocean, and of course, some of the most caring and loving people on earth. 

 Thanks so very much for your support .. and a very special note of gratitude to my sister, Nancy for organizing this event with the manager of the Valley Tavern, Cindy.  Your efforts are appreciated so very much, and touch me deeply.  (http://valleytavern.net/)

Always, Robin

Silence is golden … especially when it is for our valiant heroes!

Tigger & the Sky Angel make their mark in Paris ...


There comes a time in everyone’s life, where they have to make decisions that are best for themselves.  For me, being stubborn about what is “right” and having the motivation to do for others … sometimes it is difficult for me to “do for myself”.  However, the time has come for me to listen to friends, family members, and doctors … and take a break away from the “norm”.

This will come as a shocker to some of you (probably moreso to myself!), but I had a dear friend dare me to do the unthinkable today.  She suggested I stay off the computer for the three weeks I am on vacation, and see what God can do.  You see, I am in the middle of my biggest fund raising campaign that I have ever done before.  This years  “Mail Call for Our Heroes”  is for Spc. A.J. Kirkendall’s 101st Airborne Unit that is currently based in Afghanistan.  Thousands of dollars need to be raised so each soldier in the unit will be able to call home for the holidays.  In addition, I am collecting cards for AJ’s unit, along with the other service members I have currently “adopted”.  Extra cards will go to the Combat Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan.

People tell me all the time, “I don’t have money to send you, but what can I do?”  Write a card to a service member, and send it to me.  (see the blog  “Mail Call for Our Heroes” for details).  Other people email and ask how to make a donation.  Again, all the details are on the same blog.  While I am taking this much needed vacation, I will be praying for God’s favor with this project.

This “holiday” (which is what people in other places in the world call a vacation) is desperately needed in order to regroup, make some major decisions, and get my health better than it has ever been.  Although I hope I will be missed, I can tell you I will be celebrating life and honoring those who died September 11, 2001.  If you do not realize it, my friends and merely woke up 1/2 an hour late.  Who knows what could have happened … but near death experiences change a person.  My world was completely changed on that day, for the better.  My life is committed to bringing hope to the hopeless, kindness to those in need, compassion when everyone else turns a blind eye, and honor to those who serve our country and the world so valiantly.  My goal is to bring peace to every nation and share Light and Love wherever I go.

While I am living out my dream, and seeing the final “Wonder” on my list … won’t you please take some time to reflect on what is most important to you?   Make that phone call, tell someone you are sorry, say the words “I love you” before it is too late.  Never take someone for granted or leave words unspoken.  Remember each day to look yourself in the mirror and say “I forgive you”.  LIVE WITH INTEGRITY. Repay a loan, say a prayer, shake a hand, hold open a door, smile at a complete stranger … there is so much each of us can do to better our own lives … and I am taking this code of silence to prove a point.

You see, our troops sacrifice so much every single day.  They go for days without bathing (at times), don’t get to eat hot meals after long missions, often don’t have access to the internet, and go without modern conveniences we have all grown accustomed to.  For the next three weeks, I am going to be asking each of you to give up something … a cup of coffee at Starbuck’s … a dinner out on the town … lunch with your buddies … skip going to the movie theater … whatever “extra” you are splurging on … give it up for a week.  Then donate that money to “Mail Call for Our Heroes”.  The cause could not be more admirable … and I know our valiant heroes will appreciate your kindness so very much.

Thank you for believing in me.  Thank you for helping me … but most of all, thank you for allowing me this time to rest.   As of 12 noon on 31Augusts, I will not get back online until I return from the Land of Oz (the last weekend of September) … EXCEPT to check my personal email.  Since no one has an itinerary and only my travel companion knows where we will be, I have to have a way to check in with my loving family.  In addition to that, if one of my heroes needs me, I won’t leave them in a lurch.  Trust me, aside from that one email account (for my family and my heroes), you will not find me breaching this dare … because I believe “this” purpose is far greater than meets the eye!  It’s time to allow miracles to happen, by being silent and listening!

Just as a side note, I will be speaking at Center Street United Methodist Church at 10:30am in Lucasville, Ohio on 26September, if any of you want to come show your support … or purchase an autographed copy of “Kentucky’s Everyday Heroes #2” that Steve Flairty so generously included me in.  This amazing author will also be at the church, so please come show your support!

Now, for my friend who dared me to stay off line for the next three weeks … game on!   hehehe

PS.  Please remember Sept 21st is International Peace Day.  Do something to help promote this day of cease fire, deliver humanitarian aid, and bring PEACE to every corner of the world.  My travel companion and I will be volunteering in Sydney on our last day of vacation, as my one day set aside for something other than taking care of myself.

Always,

Robin (aka .. the Sky Angel)

Mail Call for Our Heroes 2010

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Sgt. Tim Gallagher playing Santa by delivering cards in Dec 2009

Since 2002 I have been ‘adopting’ troops who are on deployment in Iraq, Afghanistan, & other parts of the globe.  The service members have explained to me over and over again, the importance of receiving mail to help them cope with the time away from their loved ones back home.  In an effort to uplift spirits and boost morale over the holidays, “The Sky Angel” is doing my third annual “Mail Call for Our Heroes”.

My goal: To raise $3,480 for 174 Roshan Scratch off Calling Cards (the calling cards needed in Afghanistan).  These particular cards cannot be purchased online or in any store in America.  The second aspect of this project, is to collect 174 individual cards, letters, or notes so each soldier will have a piece of mail to open over the holidays.  It would be wonderful for you to express your thoughts to any of the soldiers in this unit, and make the gift more personal for them.  :o)

To be a part of this special project for our heroes away from home, please send donations (checks should be payable to Robin Schmidt) to the address below.  If you would like to use a credit card or make a donation online, you can do so via PayPal to the email address of supportourheroes@live.com (or clicking on the donate button at the top of the http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/ ) .

Once I collect enough donations, I will work directly with Spc.AJ Kirkendall to purchase the Roshan Scratch Off Calling Cards for his unit.  He will be able to put them with the Christmas or holiday cards and have a ‘Mail Call’ for each soldier in his unit.

Santa Sgt. Tim Gallagher delivering smiles to Task Force Dirigo ~ Dec 2009

It seems a little early to talk about the holidays; but I need to act on it quickly so the cards are received in Afghanistan before Thanksgiving and Christmas come to pass. It currently takes 7 to 8 weeks for AJ to receive any mail from me, which already puts time constraints on this project.  If there is a windfall, and I am able to get donations that exceed the need for “The Gators”,  I will distribute  Calling Cards to the other soldiers I have “adopted” and the  Combat Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan.  In order to get the holiday cards to AJ and him to have the money in time, the deadline for this project will be 1 October, 2010.

If each of us takes action … we can change the world … one  life, one person at a time.

Thanks so much for helping make a difference for member of “The Gators” in Spc. AJ Kirkendall’s this holiday season!

Tigger needs treats!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Tigger is making his way to Afghanistan for a true hero … won’t you please help to fill his tummy? :o)

One of the soldiers I am currently supporting in Afghanistan has been having a bit of a difficult time. In an effort to uplift his spirits a bit, I went to Tijuana a few months back during my layover in San Diego and bought a Tigger Pinata to send to him.

So you can tell how big Tigger is too bad you cannot see the smiles of the passengers .. they LOVED this experience on the plane ride “home” ♥

Tigger (T eye double guh rrrr) is about 4 feet tall and is going to take probably close to 25 lbs of candy. (that is how much the pinata I sent last year to Task Force Dirigo took).

This will be the 4th Tigger Pinata that has gone to Afghanistan .. nothing like making my own mark on the world, right? whoooo whooo whoo (or whatever that funny noise is that Tigger makes).

From Mexico to the United States .. and soon to be in Afghanistan .. Tigger really gets around! 🙂

If you would like to make a cash donation to assist with purchasing the candy or the shipping of this magnificent care package, that would be wonderful. Or, if you live in the area & want bring me candy (please NO CHOCOLATE … it is 120 degrees over there, and the chocolate will cause everything to melt together), that would be awesome as well. The package containing the Tigger Pinata will not be sent until the 2nd week of August, so it will arrive at exactly the right time.

Sgt. Tim Gallagher’s 39th Birthday in Kandahar, 2009

Please send checks payable to Robin Schmidt, or an American Express Gift Card (for me to purchase the candy or use at the post office) to the address below .. or if you want to donate online, you can do so via my website http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/ and click on the “donate” button in the upper right corner.

Tigger made his mark on the 101st Airborne, specifically SGM John Miller, 2008
 
All monies and donations for this particular project will need to be received no later than 11August. (If I get too much candy or cash .. yeah, that would be a dream come true! haha .. I will use it for the other care packages I will be sending to the troops I am supporting at this time).

Thanks a million for being a part of making a tremendous difference .. by helping me to help boost moral for this particular soldier .. and his entire unit!

TTFN (That is Tigger talk for .. Ta Ta For Now)

🙂 Always,
Robin

Kentucky’s Everyday Heroes 2

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Steve Flairty’s Kentucky’s Everyday Heroes #2, two years in the writing, includes Delta flight attendant Robin Schmidt. Schmidt, a resident of Covington, Ky, has been recognized nationally for her support of U.S. military personnel around the world. She is one of Flairty’s twenty-six citizens he portrays in the Bluegrass State who “by their actions, serve to inspire others to greater works of character.”

WOW! What can I possibly say? It is so weird for me to be writing a blog about this!  You see, I have been honored to be chosen as one of the individuals in “Kentucky’s Everyday Heroes 2” by Steve Flairty. When I received an autographed copy and such a beautiful letter from Steve yesterday, I could not help to hold back my emotions. This is such a tremendous compliment!

For your own book (personally autographed by me), send a check or money order, along with your shipping information to the address below. The price is $14.50 (no additional taxes or shipping fees). Checks should be payable to: Robin Schmidt

If you choose to pay through my website (http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/) the price will be $16.50 to offset the fees charged by PayPal. In the comments, be sure to include your shipping information on the PayPal website.

This is a very high honor for me, and I simply cannot wait to share the entire book with you. Not only will you love the chapter about me, but you will be fascinated by the stories of the amazing heroes Steve has written about! (do you have ANY idea how awesome and weird this is???)

If you can help me to get the word out to boost sales of the book, that would be wonderful! It is available on other websites, but Steve wants me to have an opportunity to raise money for my cause of supporting the troops by offering it to you directly, without anyone else making a profit. 😉

Much love and gratitude, for you being such valued members of my life and helping me to become the person I have become! However … I do truly believe the real heroes are the people who put themselves in harms way, in order to serve and protect us every single day … in many types of jobs, in many aspects of life.

Of course, a very special note of gratitude to Steve Flairty for choosing me as one of his heroes. (Thank you also, to Debbie Kohl Kremer, for suggesting Steve interview me, and for the beautiful article you wrote about my support of the troops in the Cincinnati Inquirer last October … THAT changed my life forever!) There are no words to truly describe how it feels to be placed in the company of these extraordinary individuals in Kentucky’s Everyday Heroes 2. !!

Always,
Robin

Care Package madness for Veteran’s Day …

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Each month my creativity has to kick into gear, in order to deliver laughter to our deployed heroes overseas.  July 4th care packages are a huge success because of the kind donations for sheets and small fans, along with so many other “treats” I was able to collect in my travels. (my work schedule has been insane this summer!)

Veteran’s Day is right around the corner, and the guys (I don’t have any females that I am supporting presently) are going to be receiving treats from my layover in Paris.   However, there are still requests for school supplies and items for the local children in Iraq & Afghanistan, which I will be collecting for September care packages. 

One particular item I will be accepting donations for are beach balls.  When volunteering in Haiti we helped deliver “Peace Packs” which gave me the idea. (With coaching from my friends, I was able to get a deal from xump.com and am hoping to buy 150-200 0f the beach balls to distribute between the units I am supporting.  That means I need to get $350 to pull it off!)   Below you will see a photo of what I am planning to send in September.  My goal is for the troops to be able to blow these up and have some priceless moments between themselves and the local children.

Why not create a summer project with your kids to make cards for our deployed Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Sailors?  If you could ONLY know how much a card or letter means to our troops.  How would you feel if you were away from YOUR family and friends AND in a war zone?  Please help me to make a difference for these brave individuals and uplift their spirits!

Please know I appreciate your kind donations so very, very much.  Even $5 helps towards the postage, as I have 10 heroes I am supporting right now and cannot do any of this without your help.   You can send your cards and / or make a donation by simply clicking on the “donate” button on my website ( http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/ ) or send to:

Robin Schmidt

PO Box 122037

Covington, KY 41012-2037

 

From my heart, to our heroes overseas, and to each family member of our Armed Forces, I thank each of you who believe in me, and help to make a difference!  We each can change the world .. one person .. one life at a time.  :o)

Always,

Robin

Christmas in July

Monday, June 7th, 2010

July is usually a time for outdoor activities and summer vacations.  However, for my orphans in South Africa, it is a different story.  Every year at this time, I do a “Christmas in July” for them, and I would love your help.

If you have any slightly used (look new) hats, scarves, gloves you can donate, that would be fantastic.   The orphans get so excited when they receive school supplies, toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm), hair coloring, make up and hair clips.  🙂  Then again, you should hear the excitement of the teenagers when I give them cologne or perfume. (if you have any bottles you are not using any longer, please send them as well!).  The favorite item (and most requested) I have ever been asked for is “American Chocolate”…

These kids have all been brought in off the streets of South Africa by loving people who look after them on a daily basis.  Sinethemba is the name of the home, and it means “Hope House”.  There are no better words to describe the love in this house, that is offered by the couple who has taken them all in.

Any extra donations I recieve go to help Maria at the creche she runs, called Mpumelelo Orphanage & Day Care Centre.  Maria takes care of the needs of 60 children a day.  None of Maria’s children, or Sinethemba have any idea where their next meal is going to come from, and every little thing any of us can to do bring a smile that direction, or show love .. is so very appreciated.  I just want them to know they are valued and remembered!  🙂

If you would like to be a part of this special project (I only ask for help with them once a year, the rest of the time I do it on my own), please send an online donation (  http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/ ) , a check or any of the items requested to:

Robin Schmidt

PO Box 122037

Covington, KY 41012-2037

Deadline for receiving the items will be 25June 2010.  The cost of postage is astronomical, so any cash or check donations are also greatly appreciated.  If I am released by the doctor to travel to a third world country, I will deliver the items myself.  🙂  (I miss my “kids” more than you can imagine!  A special thank you to Gilbert Martin for looking after them for me, and giving them all my love.  They are family to me, and are in my thoughts and prayers daily).

Thanks so very much for helping me to go MAD (make a difference) all over the world.

Always,

Robin

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

As our Nation celebrates Memorial, Flag, Independence and Veteran’s Day holidays, I want to take time to say THANK YOU for your kind donations to help me support our troops.  With your help, there are service members every single month who receive much needed encouragement and supplies as they serve our country far from home.

Whether it be pillows, sheets, toiletries, junk food, homemade goodies, movies, books, games, calling cards, back scratchers, candy, or school supplies (for the local children) .. every single item is so very appreciated.  Recently the orphanage I support in South Africa sent me bookmarks to send to my troops.  They want our service members to know they are thought of and appreciated … all the way from Africa.  That random act of kindness reminds me how simple it is to make a difference for others.

These children feel they have nothing to offer the world, yet they give LOVE in everything they do.  That is exactly how I look at each donation someone provides to me.  Countless times I have had tears of joy from receiving a check to cover postage at exactly the right time, or an envelope of cards written for our Wounded troops at Landstuhl or the Combat Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan.  Thank you for getting your local communities involved in writing to our Armed Forces.  A letter or card makes more of an impact than you can possibly imagine.  It’s the human factor .. after all, I don’t know anyone who would be annoyed with receiving a note of “thanks” or appreciation .. whether they know you or not.  🙂

When asked “what next”, I often tell people it is my desire for NONE of our service members to ever feel alone on the battlefield or when they return home.  With your continued support, I hope to make that dream a reality.  Please feel free to make a donation on my website of http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/  (for monthly care packages) or sign up to adopt your own hero today.  http://adoptahero.us/ .

You can also send cards, donated items, or checks to me at:

Robin Schmidt

PO Box 122037

Covington, KY 41012-2037

Thank you, thank you, thank you .. for honoring our heroes and allowing me to continue to do what I do through your kindness.  You have touched me deeply with your generosity, and I cannot thank you enough for being a blessing to me.  Even if you have not been able to give in a monetary way, thank you for believing in me .. praying for me .. encouraging me .. and guiding me with your love and friendship! 

 Each and every one of you have been an answer to prayer and I cannot end this note, without specifically saying “thank you” to my heroes, for allowing me the honor of serving YOU and supporting YOU.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service and the sacrifices you make daily to serve, protect, and defend our Nation and my life.

Always,

Robin

Time for some “Spring” love to our troops!

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Sharing laughter with our troops ...

 
Since 2002 I have been “adopting” military members during their deployments overseas.  Since most of them are in war zones and far away from their loved ones, my goal is to provide them with small comforts of home and bring a bit of laughter to their days.
 
Currently I am working on care packages for May.  Since it is beginning to be very hot in the desert, I am sending them “cool” items and some “Spring” love.  :o)  Today I purchased the contents for the parcels; which include “fun” items to make them laugh … along with the typical wet wipes, hygiene products, and other items the troops have specifically requested. 
 
If you would like to donate towards the postage for my care packages this month, please do so by clicking on the “donate” button on my website http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/ .   Currently I have 5 guys (and their units) I am supporting, plus the Combat Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan (they asked for sheet sets this month), and continue collecting items for the Chaplain’s Closet at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center … also, if you want to help for June packages, please send me gift cards for WalMart, Costco, or Big Lots as I will purchase hot climate items to help them for the summer months .. and of course, their favorite junk foods.  🙂  Any donation you can make (big or small) would be GREATLY appreciated. 
 
Also, please remember this is National Military Appreciation month and Memorial Day is coming up .. please take time to thank a service member and their families for the many sacrifices they make daily to serve and protect our Nation .. and make the world a better place.
 
It is my goal that none of our service members ever feel alone on the battlefield, or when they return home.  If you would like to adopt your own service member, please go to http://adoptahero.us/ and sign up.  Please remember many of our troops DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET regularly, and it is vital to their well being to receive mail during mail call.  (US Mail delivery to their military base overseas).
 
Please send gift cards, or if you don’t have money and want to write cards to thank our heroes for their service for Memorial Day (or for any wounded members at the Combat Surgical Hospital), please send them to me:
Robin Schmidt
PO Box 122037
Covington, KY 41012-2037
 
Thanks so very much for your support and kind donations, and for helping me to make a difference for our valiant heroes.  Just look at this picture above, and know how much they appreciate what we do to encourage them!
 
It is my belief, we can each make a difference .. one person .. one life at a time!
 
Always,
Robin
