Memorial Day Support

No matter whether or not you support the war in Iraq, we have our sons and daughters fighting over there and in Afganistan. We have them stationed all over the world. There is always the possibility they could end up in the Sudan. We are the country we are because they fight and died for it.

Even if you have problems with this war, they are still out there. Those sons and daughters have parents, siblings, children and friends in Seminole Heights.

Help them. Support them. In Seminole Heights, Peggy Chiasson, the mother of a Marine who was deployed to Iraq at the start of the war. She wanted to do something. She started sending out shoeboxes of supplies to her son and his buddies. She got the neighborhood of SE Seminole Heights involved and thus OperationShoebox.US was created.

"Take an empty shoebox and start looking around your home. Ask yourself
what do I have to give? You will probably find several items that are either
travel size, samples or single serving size that could fit in your shoebox. Fill
it with items listed HERE.

Or try this: Take a few minutes to write a short note of thanks and encouragement to our men and women in uniform. If each one of us took just a few minutes from our busy day, just imagine how many smiles we could make happen."

"Adopting a Shoebox is easy!All you do is make a $10.00 donation that will
pay for the shipping of 1 Care Package to a deployed soldier.

We have Care Packages assembled & wrapped,waiting to be shipped...all we (and our soldiers) are waiting on are the funds for us to mail them. The actual price of each individual Care Package varies according to content & country it is being shipped to, but the average price is $10.00"
