Operation Christmas Tree - Care Packages

Evie · 11-01-2009, 08:14 PM

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet this year, I haven't seen anything but I haven't been paying a ton of attention either. Just in case no one's done it, here it is:

These guys are awesome, they send 2 ft LIVE trees with lights and ornaments to deployed soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan...all for $25. You can either send a Christmas tree to a specific soldier, donate a tree, or put your solider's name on the list to receive a donated tree. I did this last year for one of J's friends and he loved it. In order to give them enough time to get them all out, orders have to be in by Nov. 26th.
