Mission Accomplished!

Mission Accomplished!
Another night of packing care packages at T-Bone Tooter's

Another 160 care packages will be winging their way to Iraq this week. A group of Hearts volunteers met tonight to once again sort, pack, label, and box up goodies for our American heroes. This week was "Boo-Boo" week ... that is, first aid kits were put together along with snack goodies.

We worked until late but it was rewarding knowing that, once again, our guys would have a little bit of the Shenandoah Valley shipped to them while they are so far from home. Items were sorted inside the restaurant and we had an assembly line adding one of each item and ending with photos of local Support the Troops rallies to let them see that we care even against the anti-war protesters.

We are running low on supplies and we still have weeks to go for the program (which runs through September 11). It would be wonderful if folks in the community would continue to send items from the soldiers' Wish List and donations to help with shipping charges.

Hearing from our guys keeps us going. Thanks to all the Hearts volunteers -- you have hearts of gold!
