Just a Little Thing . . . for Our Troops

Every month, our Legion Auxiliary sends boxes to troops from our area. They are currently sending about 75 every month. Local churches and individuals donate money for mailing and incidentals the men and women in uniform would like to have and help fill the boxes.

Hubby and I send a letter to go in each box. We put a comic strip top and bottom and here is this month’s letter. Perhaps you know someone who’d like to receive a note from home. Maybe our note will help you compose one for the troops from your area:

Hello Again from East Texas!

After a pretty dry summer, we have been having some major rain. Of course, given that everything is BIG in Texas, we get big droughts and big rains! We’re used to that, right?

We pray for you and hope you have been able to keep dry and able to feel comfortable though we hear your temperatures may be very hot!

The fall cycle of return to school, planning for fall activities, and of course, football, is in process. For all of us and your friends and family, of course the missing link is YOU!

We pray for your safety and safe return home and send you our blessings!

Thank you for all you do to keep America free!

THANK YOU INDEED!
