Soldiers' Angels Volunteer at Tropical Thunder Paintball Tournament

Hundreds of serious paintballers decended at Camp Pendleton Paintball Park for an all day war with volunteers Soldiers' Angels helping out.

Saturday, 7/21 was a great day for paintball war. Hundreds came to the Paintball Park on Camp Pendleton; beginners and expert teams, all wanting the same thing...TO WIN!

The event organizer, Drew Quevedo, from Ultimate Paintball Wars had the generous idea to bring in Soldiers' Angels volunteers to assist. They are a (501) (c) (3) non-profit organization supporting our military. He offered a % of the proceeds to donate for the Valour-IT laptop program. Soldiers' Angels gives laptops and tablets to wounded troops in need. It helps them communicate with family back home as many spend years in the rehab facilities with WWBW at Camp Pendleton and Naval Hospital San Diego. In addition, the laptops and tablets are a useful aid for when they are ready to return to school.

Next paintball war is 8/4 http://ultimatepaintballwars.com/b-reals-stoned-assassins-paintball-challenge-event/ Have fun, meet some great people and support our troops.
