Whatever yo u do, do not forget our troops

Whatever yo u do, do not forget our troops

December 8, 2007


During this busy time of year it is not unusual for our stress level to go up, as we go into overdrive. Nonetheless, it is important that we remember our soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors who are far from home and their families. After all, the freedom and liberties, some of which we are able to enjoy in our community, for which we are so thankful are secure by our men and women in uniform.

Regardless of which side of the fence you are in, and despite the utter silence from the noveaux locofocos, our troops are making significant military gains in Iraq, and we pray the politicians will soon follow.

If you would like to send a care package or card to a deployed service member, please visit www.americasupportsyou.mil for a list of organizations, many of whom will be coordinating holiday packages to the troops. If you have a family member or friend serving overseas, please use the table below as a guide for when you should ship your card or package. Basically, you must mail by December 4th for anyone serving in Iraq or Afghanistan and by December 11th for all other overseas military postings.
