PGR Christmas and Army Family Adoption

The Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) is having their 2nd annual Christmas party on Dec 8th in Spring Lake (close to Ft Bragg). We are adopting an Army family with 10 children with ages ranging from 1-16. We are also in hopes of having a few local wounded heroes join us for dinner.

We are extending a welcome to any Soldiers' Angel who would like to join us for some fun and helping a few heroes at the same time. If you are interested in attending or donating presents or money for our family, please email me at vactlnc@gmail.com Thanks, Susan

Help Needed for Asheville VA

The Asheville VA is honoring 150 veterans on Saturday, December 1st. They are giving each honoree a single red rose. Thanks to Kevin's hard work, our Team Leader, the cost of the roses has been taken care of. They will be providing meat, cheese and cracker trays also. If you would like to donate to help make this a great event for our veterans, please send Kevin an email at keving3858@yahoo.com asap. If your company would like to sponsor a food tray, it will be advertised during the event. Help us let the veterans know they have NOT been forgotten!

A Poem by Fonda Brewington

As angels hover above waiting for you to awake,

Watching and guiding every step you make.

Shielding you with their radiant wings never allowing anyone to take,

Surrounding you with Gods love to help you come home to all the love ones who wait.

Quilters Wanted!

We have an Angel, Rabbit, who is located in the Hope Mills area. She is currently making quilts for Walter Reed and our local heroes. She was able to get some scrap material donated and is looking for some quilting friends.

If you are a quilter or would like to learn and want to help keep our heroes warm, please send Rabbit an email at thomasrabbit5@gmail.com.

Operation Christmas Tree

Operation Christmas Tree wants our troops to have a little bit of home during the holidays so they are planning to send 5,000 2 foot tall Christmas trees with lights and decorations to service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cost of a tree including lights, decorations, and shipping is $20. Please go to their website and make a donation. You can donate $20 to provide one tree or you can donate any amount that you choose. All donations, regardless of amount, are greatly appreciated. This will help make the holiday season brighter for those who are away from home serving our country.
