OPERATION IRAQ-AFGHNAISTAN THANKS UNITED PILOT’S WIVES!!!
We would like to take a special moment and say “Thank You” to the United Pilot’s Wives this year. Member Faith Records did a lot of work and took a considerable amount of time collecting money and making some of the best purchases for our kids. Mr. Ferguson, owner of Ben Franklin, right here in Redmond, Washington, was able to work with Faith very effectively from a monetary stance. They were able to really purchase some of the most popular items for our military families to enjoy this Christmas morning. Thank you so much for all the support you have given over these last 6 years and special “Welcome Aboard” to Mr. Ferguson. We look forward to working with you in the future years to come!
OPERATION IRAQ-AFGHNAISTAN KEEPS “THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS” ALIVE ON THE HOMEFRONT IN 2011!!!
Operation Iraq-Afghanistan is excited to support the families of our American Heroes here on the homefront!
Our authorities in Washington DC blessed us with the good news of a downsized presence in Afghanistan as well as a real surplus of packages received on the frontlines last year. We are excited at the opportunity to focus on the families here at home with the emphasis on bringing “The Spirit of Christmas” to the children.
We will unite for our 9th year and touch the hearts of our children here at home by filling thousands of Christmas Stockings for our very special military families. We all know they deserve nothing less than the very best from us. We are looking to collect Christmas stockings, toys, games and more for the ages infants thru 18 years of age.
