As Veteran's Day is tomorrow and the holidays are fast approaching I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you about a Montgomery County program that sends Christmas packages to our military men and women serving overseas. Below are some items that are needed. There are rules as to what can and can not be sent to Iraq so please check the website or call to make sure that what you purchase can be shipped. If you have a family member serving, you can sign them up at this website as well so they can receive a package.

Join in our goal to send 1,000 holiday packages over to Iraq and Afghanistan in time for our heroes to enjoy the holiday season.

Please help us by donating any of the following non-perishable items:

AT&T International Phone Cards

i-tunes Gift Cards

Digital Disposable Cameras

"Shippable" Snack Items

Christmas cards to the heroes

A thank you from one soldier...

Howdy!

Thank you so much for the care package from Holiday for Heroes.  It is nice to see so many things from back home in Texas.  Iraq is far enough away that the little things mean much more than they did just a short time ago.  It was funny to watch the guys in the office diving into the box after I opened it up and picked out a few things for myself.  Beef Jerky seems to be the most-coveted item these days.  I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday and thank you for remembering us while we are far from home and missing our families.  Your efforts truly do help and they do not go unappreciated.

God bless you!
