I'm the 1st Sergeant at Dallas Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) located in downtown Dallas. We are responsible for qualifying and entering applicants into the Armed Forces. We are an independent duty location, meaning isolated from a military instillation, subsequently very underfunded and supported. We have 18 active duty Service Members from all branches of service, and 45 civilian employees, most of whom are Veterans or spouses of Veterans (42).

*REQUEST* We are having our holiday party on December 1st 2023, and are looking for support. We have a very limited budget, almost all coming from the Commander and myself personally. We are wondering if you would be willing to donate anything for us to hand out as a gift to one or some of our employees during our party. We have a lot of outdoor and fishing enthusiasts.

We greatly appreciate your consideration and understand with no hard feelings if you're unable to support.

Respectfully
