The 82nd Airborne At The Winds
October 20, 2008 by garypope
Soldiers of the 82nd Airborne stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC came to The Winds Resort Beach Club on Ocean Isle Beach for some much deserved R&R the weekend of October 10th. Accompanied by their wives, children, friends and girl friends, they arrived exhausted as they had participated in a day long triathlon before heading out for Ocean Isle.
The Winds hosted a dinner catered by Sharky’s restaurant. They then enjoyed a party provided by the Winds in two adjoining function rooms. They all had loads of fun drinking and eating and dancing, to music played by the DJ. The video pretty much says it all!
Unfortunately some of them had to report back to Ft. Bragg on Saturday but others were able to stay and enjoy some time with their families and friends.
This photo shows some of the guys presenting a commemorative plaque to Miller Pope, founder of The Winds Resort Beach Club.
We can’t wait to see them back again at The Winds soon. They really are great guys.
They will be deploying back to Iraq once more sometime in November. Please keep them and their families in your prayers as they go into harm’s way. We know they will be in ours.
Thanks for doing a little something special for these guys.
There are a great group of guys!! Be Safe! Well see you when you come back!
