Christmas for the troops | Letter


November 26, 2012 · Updated 4:26 PM 

Because of people like the American Legion, Jake and Dana Jacobus, Paul Garwood, shipping department Toni Hermansen, super sales ladies Velma Doty and Toni, and many other people known and unknown our Christmas project is alive and well.
