Service before self is a core value that one of the Airman Leadership School classes put a lot of hard work and effort into.

The class organized a fun run dedicated to the troops currently serving downrange. They decided, though, that a dedicated run was just not enough; so the class set up camp the next day in front of the BX and collected donations of personal hygiene items, entertainment items, and lots of Girl Scout cookies.

Class leader Senior Airman Amanda Cervantez said she knows how it is when you deploy.

"You look forward to those care packages everyday and it's nice to know that you're being thought of," she said.

The Global War on Terror has many Airmen rotating in and out of the deployed area. The stress of being away from family and friends can take a toll on Airmen, but it's nice to know the people at home care.
