A little about Team 26th MEU (SOC)...

Cindy's Baking Angels wishes to thank John and Janet LeBlanc for referring their son, Jeremy, for our support this month! Our Angels are looking forward to sharing their Angel TLC with him and his Buddies.

Janet shares, "I gave Jeremy an auction gift that I won for a 2 hour Introductory Lesson to fly a small plane when he was graduating high school. He came home with the biggest grin and I asked how he liked it. He told me he did a barrel roll with the instructor. I was shocked but knew he was happy for the experience. 

He went on to college and completed with a Video Game Design Degree with a Computer Programming Minor. After graduation, he came home and said he was joining the military. I asked why he wasn't going to find a job with his new degree and he said he wanted to fly. He was going into the military and they would give him those skills while also going in as an officer instead as an enlisted soldier.  He didn't want his family to carry the burden of putting him through a costly tuition.

He earned his wings in 2019 and in 2020 was flying a small plane until his platform to fly the Huey was assigned to him. This picture (above) of him sitting on top of the Huey was at the New York Fleet Week in 2022 which is on the USS Bataan. His first deployment was to Norway for winter exercise during the beginning of the Russia/Ukraine skirmish. Little did he know, the following year he would again be on the USS Bataan for his second deployment.

As a Mom, yes, I worry but know he has his fellow marines and sailors that have his back. It's been hard not hearing from him for five months. I am glad he is finally getting some liberty time in the past two months and now he's looking forward to when he can return stateside," adds Janet.

Janet expresses, "Thanks to all the Angels that are sending our military such wonderful surprises.  Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers."
