DEPLOYED TROOPS CARE PACKAGE PROJECT
*
Have you noticed a new display in the lobby of Post 730? Well, if you haven't, you need to check it out with a visit real soon!
*
The display represents the newest Auxilliary project, DEPLOYED TROOPS CARE PACKAGE, which was established to support deployed troops of Post 730, as well as deployed troops of family members of Post 730. The display provides information on what items are needed, but the following article provides the truest picture of life in Afgahnistan.
*
As the article states,
*
"A lot of people think that Afghanistan is like Iraq right now, and it's not They're two totaly different things. Iraq is more set up with everything that the guys need," she says. Afghanistan - they went in with nothing."
*
*
Please consider donating items or funds to support our own Post 730 troops.
There is a donation jar located in the canteen beside the daily book for those who may wish to provide support through monetary donations.
*
Currently, the Auxiliary is accepting the names of deployed members of Post 730 as well as deployed family members of Post 730. It is our hope that as donations grow so to will our ability to support not only our own Post 730 members, but other deployed troops of our friends and the community in general.
*
For those who wish to donate a large number of items at one time, such as a case or carton, we can handle those as well. We will break down the items and divide them up according to each deployment location.
*
We will ship care packages to any deployed theatre of operation. Each deployment location has specific needs, especially when it comes to the time of year in which the package is sent. The needs of a deployed member in Afghanistan may be different than the needs of a deployed member to Korea or Germany.
*
If you wish to have a care package sent, contact Dee McHugh at: ossagent@yahoo.com or by calling 651-0553.

Johnny was 8 years old, when his father went to warHe really didn't understand, what we were fighting forBut he was brave and so very proud, as he took his father's handHe said, "Dad, I'll be just like you, when I become a man."The father fell in a German town near the river RhineAnd he left that sad, lonely boy and pretty wife behindBut somehow they made it through the years, then Johnny was a manBut now there was another war, that put a gun in Johnny's handLike the father, John was brave and he did what he had to doAnd he came through that ugly, evil war, to start his life anewAnd so it's been down through the years, and the saga will repeatAnother child, another war, the marching of the feetSome will live and some will die, some just fade awayAnd only God can change the plot, on that final judgement day
