OK, folks, it's officially official -- Operation Love from Home begins now!
Last year, thanks to all your hard work and commitment, 20,000 cards were collected and shipped to Iraq & Afghanistan! How awesome is that? LET'S DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR -- I KNOW WE CAN!!! :)
All the information is below. This is a great project for scout troops, businesses and other organizations to get involved in tangibly showing support for our troops. The troops can't see the yellow ribbon magnets on our cars...but they CAN hold a letter or card in their hand and KNOW someone back home REALLY CARES! :)
Individually we can not achieve this on our own...it will take us all working together to make it happen.
Hang on - we're in for a wild ride. :) This is going to be GREAT! :)
OPERATION: LOVE FROM HOME
During this holiday season, let's show our troops we love and support them!
From OCTOBER 1 to November 24, I will be collecting holiday cards for troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Being away from home and living in harsh conditions during the holiday season is especially difficult ~ they need to know we have not forgotten them! Mail from home helps to keep our troops' morale strong, making a very real difference in their lives.
Send your signed, unsealed holiday cards to:
Mrs. Kathy Orr
OPERATION: LOVE FROM HOME
P.O. Box 1660
Loganville, Georgia, 30052
The cards can be handmade or store-bought. This is a great opportunity to get your Scout troop, school, church and other civic organizations involved in doing something to show support for our troops.
If you wish to send an email greeting,which will be printed off and mailed along with the holiday cards, please send an email to: LoveFromHome@Gmail.com
*IMPORTANT GUIDELINES: This is not a "dating service" of any type. Please do not send suggestive or otherwise inappropriate cards or materials. Please also refrain from making political statements of any nature. I will be reading and screening every card received to ensure that the above guidelines are adhered to.
