Foscoe Rentals would like to thank our owners who once again donated their properties for a week long, mountain R & R retreat for soldiers and their families from the 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell Kentucky. These soldiers have completed one or more, year long combat deployments in Afghanistan or Iraq, and for many, this is the first vacation they have had in several years due to deployments, training missions and relocations. Many combat delayed honeymoons and anniversaries have been celebrated in the High Country thanks to this special program. In 2011, four trips were utilized by soldiers from the Wounded Warrior Unit; and two stays went to members of the 5th Group Special Forces based out of Fort Campbell. Both of these soldiers had completed seven missions in Iraq. This is the fifth year that Foscoe Rentals has taken part in coordinating this wonderful  experience for the troops and their families. We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to thank these soldiers and their families for all they do for our country.
