Thanks to
the tremendous support from St Paul USBC Association bowlers, to the Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL)
Members of the Minnesota
National Guard Company
B, 2nd Battalion, 211th Aviation Regiment take bowling to new
heights in IRAQ.
We were waiting for a load at an
airfield one night when the idea just hit us "why don't we bowl a
frame or two?" It ended up being about 14 frames - it was a long
wait.
The Soldiers of Company B, 2nd Battalion, 211th Aviation Regiment, have
only been in existence since Oct. 1, 2005, and are already in combat.
The company which calls Holman Field in St. Paul, Minn., home flies CH-47
(Chinook) helicopters are now in Iraq with the 36th Combat Aviation
Brigade.
The St Paul USBC Associaition has
sent several portable carpet bowling lane kits to active duty troops in
Iraq.
The kit consists of a 26 foot
long red, white and blue carpet bowling lane, a 5 lb. rubberized bowling
ball and lightweight plastic bowling pins. The lane, ball and pins,
packaged in a nylon carrying bag, can be set up in a few minutes time,
whenever a break in the schedule permits. The kit also includes score
sheets and instructions.
