Good-natured ex-Marine C**t Stovall jokes with Captain Thad Hunkins as he shows off his prosthetic leg after a visit to Walter Read in DC. ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE was honored to say Thank You to C**t by providing him with dedicated air transport to and from his procedure. WE LOVE OUR HEROES!

To get 10 years out of a vehicle in Haiti is winning. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and benefactors ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE is able to provide the new pastor at Notre Dame D'Altagrace with a new ride. These 4WD Land Cruisers (fitted with snorkel for fording streams and operating in flood zones) are just the thing for keeping our school, clinic, and associated ministries humming along.
Kenbe lafwa!

This Veterans Day, ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE announces mission next, a Veterans Airlift Command flight of another American hero.
VAC Priority Medical Mission:
USMC Cpl C**t Stovall was only 19 years old when he joined the service. Almost immediately, he was deployed to Iraq, where his truck was struck by an IED that left him with severe injuries to both of his legs. The blast threw C**t from the gunner’s hatch, breaking both legs, suffering a TBI, and sustaining multiple lacerations to his face. After 12 years of painful limb salvage, he decided to amputate below the knee.
C**t needs to travel to Bethesda, MD, to take part in a medical study for amputees.

Like Andrew Kinard (photographed on Mission 43) C**t's sacrifice for all of us is hard to fathom. What an honor to say 'Thank You' on behalf of a grateful nation!

Yesterday ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE was rewarded for our longstanding commitment to brothers and sisters in desperate need in Haiti. Huge news: a family foundation notified us that they will contribute the financial support necessary to help build a combination classroom/medical exam facility at the site of our modular clinic in Cap Haitien (pictured). This news arrived on the Feast day of the ARCHANGELS --Sept 29th. Coincidence? Yes! Accident? No!

At a time when we are so DIVIDED, it may help to consider that Archangels are a symbol that appear in all three major faith traditions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity). Our co-founder Stu Hirsch put "Archangel" in the organization's name for their capacity to UNIFY. Angels aren't fairies with wings, they are eternal spiritual truths that occasionally break into history. An angel is a 'doing' not a 'being.' Anyone can be an angel. But you don't have to believe in angels to be on the ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE team. You just have to want to affirm human dignity, and alleviate suffering. When we do that, two realms COINCIDE.

COINCIDEnce is no accident. Help us make more of them today!

The more missions we do, the more I like ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE’s mission criteria. Does it affirm human dignity and/or does it alleviate suffering? The best do both, of course, like AA0047 in which a patient with a “terminal diagnosis” experiences compassionate care. Our extravagant outreach produces the kind of expression you see captured in this photo of our charge hugging her doctor (and ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE AA0026 veteran) Cathy Hood. We swooped into New Bedford, MA to scoop Judy and friend Aly and then to Groton, CT to pick up Nick to deliver them all to Judy’s healing place in the Bahamas. The Divine Physician does the rest…

It was a busy week for new President Thad Hunkins and ARCHANGEL 2. First, it was up to HQ to meet with VP Mike Lovelace. Then, duty called. Mission 46 allowed ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE to say thank you to the former Commander of Air Combat Command, General Mike Holmes, USAF (ret), by allowing him to be with his ailing Dad. Welcome to the ARCHANGEL family Chris Hunkins, pictured here with Thad, Gen. Holmes and ARCHANGEL 2-a1984 Piper Aerostar 700P-- in Knoxville.

Here's an antidote for our toxic times: Meet the Almozas! Jimmy and Danielle are doctors from Haiti who love their country, our country, and their daughter. After a year and a half of waiting for Danielle's humanitarian parole visa, the big day is finally here! This is from onboard American Airlines. Danielle will join her friend and fellow doctor Yvelines in the Boston area. (ARCHANGEL supporters may remember Yvelines lost a son while her husband and youngest son were both wounded in gang shooting in Haiti before emergency relocation to the US a few years ago). Now Yvelines will help Danielle and Dalia get settled while Jimmy returns to Haiti to continue leading our effort to deliver healthcare to the poorest. ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE in Haiti IS so blessed to have partners like Jimmy, Danielle, and Dalia--an American success story you'll never see on the nightly news.

Recently, our esteemed President, Peter Sloan, along with co-pilot Thad Hunkins had the opportunity to work with Veterans Airlift Command and complete our 43rd mission. It was our honor to help transport an amazing and inspiring Marine to SC, where he will be recovering from surgery.

In 2006, USMC Lt. Andrew K. was deployed to Iraq as an Infantry Platoon Commander. While on a foot patrol with seven of his Marines, he stepped on an IED and detonated it. The blast damage was so severe that it not only threw all seven Marines to the ground, but it left Andrew suffering massive life-changing injuries from his abdomen down. The damage resulted in losing both of his legs at the hip. He spent over a month in a coma and has since endured, fought through, and healed from hundreds of surgeries.

Andrew became a beacon of inspiration, embodying resilience, courage, and unwavering determination. Despite facing adversity, he refused to let his injuries define him. While awaiting medical retirement from the Marine Corps, the Lt. interned in the Office of Legislative Counsel at the Pentagon. He served as a military fellow in the office of a US Senator. Since his retirement, he has served on the board of directors with the Wounded Warrior Project. He attended Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, completing a joint degree, and has since obtained his pilot's license.

Thank you for your Service, we wish you a speed recovery!

Depi 15 lane ki sot pase yo, nou menm nan ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE nou te solidè espesyal ak pèp Ayiti. Nou te abitye ak tumult: tranblemanntè, epidemi kolera, yon pandemi ak yon asasina. Kounye a, apre gang atake ayewopò Pòtoprens, vòl yo anile, epi nou resevwa apèl pou èd. Gang yo atake yon prizon tou. Yo estime prèske 4000 prizonye sove, ki gen ladan plizyè lidè gang. Yo anvayi pòs polis yo. Gouvènman ayisyen an pibliye yon eta dijans 72 èdtan, mete tout vòl yo atè e mete ann aplikasyon yon kouvrefe nasyonal.
Tanpri priye pou zanmi nou an Ayiti.
N ap kontinye sipòte yo, redouble efò pou kontrekare dezòd ak konpasyon, jenere, solidarite.
