New Findings

Hello,

Looking through my Google Alerts, I found some gems to share today.

First, I found an article about saying thanks to all who serve. OSF Saint Anthony's Health Center took action to honor the troops and all they have done for this country. On Nov. 11, the leaders of the OSF Health Center came together to collect 20 care packages. They were filled with essentials like food, hygiene items and letters of appreciation. The OSF Health Center is filled with people with personal connections to the military. It was said that they wanted to brighten the day for some of the service members, with the connections they have, the care packages they sent out were probably created knowing they were things these service members needed.

Second, I found an article about the Ladies Auxiliary at AMVETS Post 10 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. They are also saying thanks to troops everyday, not just Veteran's Day. On Nov. 12, they stuffed dozens of red and white Christmas stockings with items to remind them of home. These items were going to be sent to the Wyoming Army and Air National Guard active duty members. The Ladies Auxiliary at AMVETS Post 10 has grown in membership in recent years, as has their reach. They now get donations from people who want to give. They help spread cheer to the troops overseas by letting them know that no one has forgotten them and have a peice of the luxury of home.

That's all for now,
