There were an enormous amount of volunteers helping our Blue Star Moms prepare care packages to be sent to troops stationed overseas. Students, teachers, and community members giving up their Saturday morning so that our troops can open a box and have a piece of "home" with them...no matter where they are. Students had writte
n cards and letters to be packed in the boxes and our businesses donated snacks, food, and various clothing and toiletries (even new skivvies for our guys). I'm so proud of our city supporting our nation's military effort and its young men and women who selflessly serve and protect each and every one of us. I'm not sure of the accurate count, but I believe there were at least 250 snacks and hygeine boxes packed in a couple of hours. I'm so fortunate to meet these really fabulous Blue Star Moms who have children in all branches of the armed services. Their wealth of information, knowledge, experience and support will be extremely valuable to all military moms, aunts, cousins, uncles, siblings, dads, grandparents and so on, now and in the future. Especially...this new military mom.
