Please Send A Note Of Encouragement To A Soldier!


Our friend, Ms. Geriann Wiesbrook ( woesbrook@comcast.net ) got word that a U.S. Troop is receiving no mail ..... Imagine that.....  Let's fix that and send this soldier some words of encouragement.  Ms. Wiesbrook is looking to send 20 letters of encouragement to this soldier.... Write Ms. Wiesbrook and she'll forward it to our troop!

Lets #SupportOurTroops

Also...
Our Troops still need YOU to donate items (for questions e-mail Ms. Wiesbrook at: woesbrooks@comcast.net ).  Our U.S. Troops still need: plain sunglasses, non perishable food items that travel well (no gelly candies, chocolate, etc)... also, soldiers are asking for magazines (even old ones would work): muscle/workout, cars, guns/weapons... also, sunscreen, pain relievers, powdered drink packs, wet wipes, foot & body powder... this is an ongoing need and they need YOUR HELP both NOW and long term.  Please see address and link below or click here!
