Support Your Troops This Christmas / Holiday packages
(please read this email all the way through for important info)
Dear Friends:
As you know we are gearing up for our holiday / Christmas packages that we send out to our deployed military troops.
Each person on our list gets 30 wrapped presents, candy, Christmas cards, a Santa hat, and a letter telling them they were chosen to play Santa and they are to hand out the presents to people in their platoon.
This is our third year doing it and it has always been such a success for our troops. They LOVE playing Santa. Our goal is to have 900 presents and cards by Nov. 3rd. Thank you for those who have donated gifts – (new DVD movies, no war ones, new CD’s of music, little harmonicas, Uno card games, hand held games, up to the calf socks, etc.)
Over the past few months, Many of you have given me the name and address of a deployed military person. ASAP I need for you to email me, confirming the name and address to be sure they will still be deployed and ABLE to accept Mail in December. Thank you.

I support your efforts and want to make a donation for care packages as well as an early donation for Christmas gifts, but was unable to find a link to do this online. Please let me know if I missed the link or if I can donate over the phone.
My cousin, David, just returned from his 2nd deployment in Iraq and I’m also looking for groups in the NJ area where he can find support now. The transition back to civilian life is proving to be challenging. Thank you for what you’re doing and I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jeremy
