Hug a Soldier

I spent an hour this morning helping the members of the Grandview High School football team assemble goodie packages for our servicemen and women overseas. It was touching to see the young men spend time signing cards and footballs and carefully selecting items to go into boxes for their soldier. Many younger siblings were involved as well, judging from the pile of hand made letters; each carefully colored and thoughtfully created.

Now is the time to have your residents come together to create care packages for the troops to receive by the holidays. Not only will it make a service man or woman feel good, your residents will feel good as well. The United States Postal service website, http://www.usps.com/supportingourtroops/ will help you get started.
