Support-R-Troops Christmas Drive 2007
Christmas is a lonely time for our soldiers abroad. We miss our soldiers with all of our hearts-but they miss us even more. Let’s send some Christmas cheer and make their Holiday Season a little brighter.

My brother-in-law served 2 tours in Iraq, and believe me, the soldiers desperately need some Christmas cheer. It’s very hard for them this time of year. They miss their families at home, the festivities, and the home cooked Christmas dinner. Just sending them a little something, reminds our soldiers that they are in our thoughts, and that we are praying for the next year’s Christmas to be spent at home.
