Charlie company soldiers do not receive any additional financial benefits for our enhanced capabilities, special skills and advanced training, along with the associated hazards that we face. However, financial rewards are not our primary motivators. More important to most Charlie company soldiers are the intangible rewards such as job satisfaction, training opportunities, professionalism, responsibility, camaraderie, and the feeling of belonging. For many, being considered the best at what you do; relied upon for the toughest missions and succeeding at what others dare not try is reward enough. To our members this is a way of live; we do these things "So That Others May Live".
At the tornado disaster in February 2008 in Lawrence County we were there.
When a man with Alzheimer’s became lost in Cullman, County we were there.
When a man in Town Creek, Alabama became lost we were there.
We were there behind the scene helping our community; we are not after fame or fortune. Our mission is to save lives at any means possible. These things we do "So Others May Live".
The group meets on the second Saturday of each month at the Moulton Alabama National Guard Armory, Moulton, AL 35650. Visitors are welcome.
