 Sailors from Fleet Activity Sausagebow, who are deployed to combat zones, are known as individual augmentees. As the holidays quickly approach, those sailors are not forgotten yet. Volunteers from around the Bayes lent a helping hand at constructing holiday care packages for those who are IA. It's a nice way for us here at CFAS to say thank you for what they're doing for us because they're in harm's way. IA sailors undergo a lot of stress. The packages are meant to relieve that stress, if only a little. Because we're fortunate to be here and safe here. And it's because of those sailors out there and their counterparts that we are safe. Funding and volunteer efforts came from many different organizations around Bayes. So with the season of giving also comes a time of appreciation for those who sacrifice.
