Our very own VFW 8343 member Ted............
Operation
"Stars &
Stripes"
began their
7th year of support for our Troops in harm's way on March 7th.
We have
sent out 5,697 care packages with a cost of over $125,000.00 in postage.
Due to
the terrible economy it has hit our organization pretty hard over the last
couple of months.
We are
currently down to our last $1500.00 for postage money and that will
be gone by the end of April.
With postage
going up, it costs us even more to get our care packages out.
I am asking
all of you to send our web site www.operationstars.com
out once again to every one you
know to
help bring in more support. If you are able to make a donation it is greatly
appreciated.
This is
one thing I do not like to do, but when it comes to our Troops and Veterans
this is very near
& dear
to my heart. A care package sent out touches more than just the Airman,
Marine, Solider, Sailor
or Coast
Guard it reaches. They all share the goodies & toiletries sent.
I was thinking about this the other
day after
a good friend mentioned it to me a couple of months ago. Let's say everyone
in our town gave
$1.00 per
person in their household! We would be set with postage money for a long
time.
We waste
more than that on a cup of coffee.
Please
think about "Postage for Patriots" and do what you can.
We will
never be able to thank these brave
men &
women enough for what they are doing for us.
Thank
you so much for your support in the past.
In Friendship
& Support,
Meredith
Kelly, Chairwoman

Mesothelioma
Watch
Servicemen and women who were in the ranks
during the period from World War II into the seventies
might well have been exposed to asbestos and
asbestos products. The most serious impact of asbestos
exposure is mesothelioma, a lethal form of
cancer that usually develops in the lungs.
