Good Bye (Again) PDF Print E-mail

Good bye …for now.
Saying good bye to your son as he deploys for Afghanistan is hard, it never gets easier no matter how many times that plane takes off. You kiss him and beg him to be safe, he tells his Dad to take care of Mom, she is having a hard time, and the countdown begins. I count each day as one less until he comes home, crossing that day off the calendar, that helps a little. I know in my heart he will come home he always has, he is a soldier trained to protect all of us and in doing so it is his job to come home. I expect him to do his job and then come back home to the country he is so proud to defend.

My son Christian has grown as a man and a patriot; he has seen things that I will never see, protected those who will never know of him, and become more than I ever expected. My son, my soldier I love you and respect you more each day. I count the days until you are back with your family, good bye…for now.

A proud Army mom,
Kathleen Lewis
 
Support The Troops! Is it just "Lip Service?" PDF Print E-mail

Click pic to donate!

Times are tough! You don't need me to tell you that either. We've all been impacted in some way. Especially the hard working men and women we at Packages From Home have dedicated our efforts to support. So NOW is the time to dig a little deeper and find some way to "Support the troops."

How many times have you heard "Support the Troops" in the past few years? I've personally heard it more times than I can remember.  The phrase is everywhere, its on cars and buses and just about anything you can stick a magnet to. So has it lost its meaning? Have we become immune to what it truly communicates? I would sincerely like to think not. I would like to think that when someone hears "Support the troops"

Navajo County's New PFH Project PDF Print E-mail

It is true! Packages From Home is growing. We now have a PFH Project in Navajo County. Thanks to the hard work and effort by John Larson we now have eight "Drop Off Locations" in seven NC cities. Currently NC-PFH is working to collect donations in a county wide effort to support the troops. This collection drive is running currently and will continue until July 10, 2009.

John is working on getting the public notices out. He'll probably run Radio PSAs for this week and hope to match up with the varied formats news-print & penny shoppers are requiring, in order to have the Project in that media by next week. If you have any suggestions about how to help get the word out or to volunteer contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
