As the year draws to a close and the festive spirit of Christmas fills the air, communities come together to celebrate hope, joy, and gratitude. Among those who embody these values daily are Alpha DART soldiers, men and women who dedicate themselves selflessly to serving the people and country, pro bono.
This Christmas season, a thanksgiving party was held to honor their unwavering commitment and to express heartfelt thanks for a year of service marked by dedication, sacrifice, and resilience.

Throughout the evening, in behalf of Acting Commanding Officer LTC GERALD ABERGOS, First Sergeant of Alpha DART Coy TSg Antonio N Gutierrez and S3 NCO MSg Diogenes San Agustin took the opportunity to recognize all for the dedication and exemplary performance, teamwork, leadership, and community outreach efforts reminding everyone that serving the country involves more than just reporting in the camp. These words served as a powerful reminder of the vital role our reservists play in maintaining peace and security, as well as in supporting disaster response and humanitarian efforts.

Said event provided a much-needed chance for the troops to relax a bit both in civilian works and military world, unwind, and connect with one another. Sharing meals, gifts, and participating in fun games and activities helped foster a sense of belonging and unity, an essential ingredients for maintaining morale in the demanding life in the reserve force.
The presence of families especially with their children was especially meaningful, as their support forms the backbone of our reservistsโ strength.

As the festivities concluded, there was a shared sense of renewed purpose and optimism. The year-end fellowship was more than just a celebration; it was a reaffirmation of commitment to each one another, to GOD, to the people they serve, and to the nationโs future.
In honoring our soldiers, both in the regular force and reserve force, this Christmas, we acknowledge their sacrifices and express our deepest gratitude. Their service is a gift that protects our freedom and peace every day of the year. May this season of goodwill inspire us all to support and uplift those who stand guard over our country, today and always.
