    Three units earn Combined Federal Campaign Overseas platinum awards, honoring last year's fundraising efforts, at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Feb. 25. U.S. Army Maj. Jason Vranes, from Knoxville, Tenn., Sgt. Tabitha Gilchrease, from Atlanta, Ga., and 1st Sgt. Donald Williams, from Houston, Texas received the platinum awards on behalf of their units: 2nd Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery; 427th Medical Logistics Company; and Area Support Group Qatar, respectively. According to Bruce Dreger, CFC-O Central Command coordinator, 90 percent of potential contributors at Camp As Sayliyah made a pledge during the 2008 CFC-O campaign – a 41-percent increase from 2007 participation statistics. Per capita amounts also improved and resulted in almost $40,000 in donations; an increase of nearly $7,000, despite fewer installation residents.
