128th Air Refueling Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard in Milwaukee

12/20/2022

 
Updated: December 20, 2022

More than 30 service men and women from the Air Force base in Jordan received Hearts of Mercy & Compassion (HMC) expressing thanks and encouragement from LCC. HMCs were also sent to their fellow Air Force base in Kuwait, where those service men and women were also thanked for their service and given encouragement.

The scripture verse on the hearts was from Deuteronomy 31:6, which read, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, for the Lord is with you." Additional wordage included "Thank you for your service and sacrifice."

Handwritten notes from numerous LCC volunteers expressing the love of Jesus also accompanied each heart to further pick the spirits up of each recipient. Milwaukee-based SMSgt. Brandon Gumm, who oversees both Jordan and Kuwait personnel, said his personnel greatly appreciated LCC's notes, prayers, and hearts and wished LCC God's richest blessings.

Last week LCC staff and volunteers enjoyed visiting the 128th Air Refueling Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard in Milwaukee. It was a chance to show our appreciation to the firemen and women assigned to this location and those deployed abroad, including Jordan and Kuwait, with the presence of LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Charity (Brookfield - Brookfield, Wisconsin) and LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dog Mary (St. Paul - Janesville, Wisconsin).

LCC staff members presented seventy-five Hearts of Mercy & Compassion for all personnel of the 128th Air Refueling Wing , thirty of which are being sent to the teams in Jordan and Kuwait this week. The message on each Heart of Mercy & Compassion (HMC) read, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, for the lord is with you." (Deuteronomy 31:6), and "Thank you for your service and sacrifice." Each of the thirty hearts being sent to their team in Jordan and Kuwait also included a personalized note of love and encouragement handwritten on HMC theme cards by numerous LCC volunteers, which meant a lot to SMSgt. Gumm, who oversees them.

We thank our host SMSgt. Brandon Gumm and his team for our time shared and for a tour of their fire station on the base. Lifting their entire team and their mission up in a group-wide prayer was certainly a highlight.

LCC staff and K-9 Affiliates were very impressed in learning how much this base supports their community in many positive ways and would like to partner with LCC in upcoming community events.

The Air National Guard as we know it today is a separate reserve component of the United States Air Force and has a unique dual-mission that consists of both Federal and State roles. This dual mission means being part of the nation's entire military force and responsible to their respective states during times of state or community emergencies.

Emergency Site Visit - Urbana Middle School

Last week LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Bethany (Trinity - Danville, Illinois) and Rachel (Immanuel - Charleston, Illinois) were requested at Urbana Middle School after the sudden loss of one of their students who was only 12 years old.

These deaths are so difficult to understand, and having the Comfort Dogs there to bring a calming and loving presence is helpful to the students and staff. The gentle presence of LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Bethany and Rachel was welcomed and needed by many.
