Happy New Year!

Finally - got a call from Michael! He sounded good and said the packages are still arriving. They got all kinds of goodies for Christmas. Thank you to all. His next wish is for flags. We already had a donation of flags and will send them out this week. He said he would like to fly the flags in Afghanistan and then he will give each of his troops a flag to take home with them in remembrance of their time in Afghanistan. He said his platoon is a 'support' unit and they support several battallions so they move around a lot. He said this was good because they keep really busy and the time there is going by quickly. Before you know it he will be back in Vero! Hope everyone has a happy, healthy, prosperous 2010 ;-)

Another great day at Somerset House in Vero Beach! What a wonderful turn out from the residents and staff at Somerset House. We send our heartfelt thanks to everyone that baked cookies, brought in donations and helped pack the care packages. 2D Mike was there and appreciates everything you are doing. ;-) Also, a great thank you for the donation of $ to send the care packages.
To date we have shipped 65 care packages from Support Our Troops. The troops see the generosity of Vero Beach as great moral support of the efforts they are putting in for us overseas. OOHRAH!
