Little gifts mean a lot to deployed U.S. troops

Care package drive needs our help

The second care package drive in honor of Veterans Day is beginning now. Bring any of the following items to the Lecture Hall, rm. 3, where the student veterans will box them and ship them to deployed troops. Remember, there are female as well as male troops.

If you have a relative or friend who is deployed, let us know the address, and we will be sure that a box goes to him or her. This list contains items that those who spent time in Iraq and Afghanistan felt were valuable.

The drive will end Nov. 11—Veterans Day
