New Role

Yesterday I accepted a new role with Operation Gratitude.  I am going to be an ambassador in my community and I need everyone's help.  It is appreciated by myself and those that serve or have served our country.

Operation Gratitude annually sends 200,000+ Care Packagesto Deployed Troops, New Recruits, Veterans, First Responders, Wounded Warriors &

  their Care Givers.  We need your donations to show our

Heroes they are not alone!

My first  two duties in this new role are to collect letters and do a collection drive.  If you are interested in helping, please let me know.  If you can do a collection drive at your child's school, your workplace or any where that would be a great and appreciated task.  All items donated can either be sent or given to me or I can give you Operation Gratitude's address so you can send the items directly to them.  

Please note the most cherished item in the boxes are personal letters.  I always include letters in my box of cards when I send out my package and I'm always looking for others to help me with this great fleet.  In the past I have received many letters of thanks for writing to someone who is deployed and how it brightened their day to receive this letter.
