Afghanistan and Iraq Care Package Program 09

This is our 7th year sending care packages to our troops to show them they are not forgotten. This year it is closer to home as my son is now serving in Afghanistan in an Army Medevac Unit. While he does not need care packages as he receives enough from family and friends, he told me of Camp Dwyer, a Marine FOB (forward operating base) in the Helmand Province where his unit is rotated in and out. He says these soldiers live in very primitive conditions, the food is bad and they pay a high casualty price fighting for Operation Enduring Freedom. These soldiers need to know that they are not forgotten. We are now collecting donations in the high school main office for the month of November. Please see the list of suggestions below and show your support so these troops know Unionville cares!

Also, if you have family or friends serving our country in Iraq or Afghanistan and would like them to receive a care package from Unionville, please forward their APO address to pmcdonough@ucfsd.org

As always, thank you for your care and generosity.
