Support Your Local Zappers

Want to send something to show your appreciation and support for what our folks are doing overseas? How about to a deployed squadron, like say, VAQ-130 aka the Zappers? Here’s the address – and trust us folks, even though the deadline has passed for getting care packages and such into theater by Christmas was 15 Nov, cookies, cards and letters showing up on the 26th or later are no less appreciated:

AT1 Berlemann, Charles
VAQ-130
Unit 25404
FPO, AP 96601-6414.

In case you’re wondering, Southern Air Pirate has "graciously" volunteered his work center supervisor (above) to handle distribution within the squadron.
