*************CHANGE IN DATE FOR CARE PACKAGES FOR SEPTEMBER ONLY. OUR REGULAR DATE WOULD HAVE LANDED ON 9/11 SO FOR THIS SEPTEMBER ONLY, WE ARE CHANGING IT TO TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH.************

We sent 28 Care Packages in August. If you know of anyone who is deployed, please give us their name and address and we will be happy to send them monthly packages for as long as they are deployed.

Thanks to our American Legion Family for the help and support they give us, to the members, non-members, groups, organizations, and business of our community for their monetary donations, memorials and donations of supplies.

Thanks to everyone who came to help with the packing. We couldn’t continue to do this worthy project without the help of all of you.

Come join us for our next Care Package packing day, Tuesday September 10th. We are usually finished setting up and ready to pack by 10:00 and finished by about 11:00. Anyone is welcome to come help us pack. It’s lots of fun. Come join us.

What is a Veteran: A Veteran…whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve…is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to, and including his/her life.” That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that act.
