The DIS & OMP soon to get more press...

My Brownie Troop adopted a female soldier - thanks to Patty (Twinmom7) giving us information on Operation Military Pride.
Our local newspaper called me to do a phone interview last week and they sent a photographer out yesterday to take pictures of the girls putting the Care Packages together. We have 7 girls in our troop who brought just a ton of stuff. Today I shipped out 3 Size 7 Priority Mail Boxes weighing over 30 pounds collectively!!! The girls also colored their soldier patriotic pictures and we wrote her a letter. Our soldier is going to be one very happy girl (I hope ). I would also like to thank Grog who gave me alot of information and links on what our soldiers Battalion is all about.
I will post the article next week when it comes out

That's great!

Just glad I could help

It's a great feeling to send our military personnel packages and letters. It doesn't seem fair, really. They risk their lives and I sit here safe at home sending packages and cards and I feel <i>good</i> about it too.

I look forward to reading the article! The girls must have been so excited.

sncbird, which paper? Is it the Herald or a local one to Bartlett?

I couldn't agree with you more Nativetxn. I cannot believe how much doing this means to these soldiers who have left their friend and families and have made such tremendous sacrifices. I think doing the Care Packages with the Brownie Troop and with my own kids has really made the kids feel like they're doing something to help.

It seems like such a small token of appreciation compared to what they're doing for us that I almost do feel guilty that I feel so good about doing Care Packages.

Hey MJames41....we're practically neighbors!! The article will be in the Examiner which is our local paper. DH told me I should have contacted the Daily Herald as well.
