The Spirit of Christmas
Christmas should be a happy time, filled with love and laughter. Sometimes, it doesn't quite work out that way. A Marine family is hurting. You can help. John at Castle Argghhh! and Matt at Blackfive have posted the following e-mail - please send along a holiday card with a small contribution to help make a difference for this family. I know the family and I know the folks who are behind this effort - hearts of gold all around.
Life's been tough for a Marine Corps family lately, including the loss of a dear family member. Every year for the past three years they have lost a loved one between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This family has been an active support group for Marines for years - inviting troops into their home, participating in Operation Santa and other troop support projects, etc. Many of you who regularly read military blogs and discussion forums are familiar with this family.We want to protect their privacy, but it's not right that such good people who have given so much to our country should not be feeling the joy and love of the Christmas season. So let's show this family the Christmas spirit! Please send them a Christmas card.
Mail your cards or notes to:
SBS
970 W Valley Parkway #223
Escondido, CA 92025Cards are being handled by well-respected figures in milblog circles who will get them to this family as soon as possible.
Open your heart, and share the love of this Holiday Season with a family that has done so much for all of us!
The address listed is a post office box rented for the specific purpose of collecting holiday greetings for this family. All cards will be sent on to them. Thanks so much for supporting this Marine Family.
