Team 232 Baking Angels ~ December 2025

Featuring CPT Marco Rodriguez

* Thank you for all of our Angels who supported Marco and his Buddies this month! Our Team is now closed.

We have some wonderful photos from CPT Marco and his team! These are from the pillowcases our Sewing Angels created for them. I shipped them out so each of their Team could have one. Thank you, Angels!

A little about Team 232....

Thank you, Marco for referring your group for our Angel support this month. Our Angels will surely bring you a holiday to remember! Thank you all for your service.

Marco shares, "In my civilian time, I am a Chicago Police Officer and have served in the Illinois National Guard for 9 years. I work in the SPO (Support Operations) section as the SPO Transportation Officer and enjoy working for my section and value them as my second family.

I have a beautiful wife and a one year old son and have been married for three years.

I decided to join the military to challenge myself with also being persuaded by my recruiter out in Western Illinois University in 2017. 
My experience in the military is put like this: We are put on this earth to fulfill a mission to lead, to follow and to support the right, the wrong, and the indifferent."
