Christmas Packages For The Troops

About 450 troops from SE Idaho recently shipped out with the 116th Brigade Combat Team. Within the next few weeks as they finish thier training there they will proceed onto Iraq, just in time for Christmas.  There is a program that has been put together between Pocatello and Idaho Falls to make sure that each and every one of those soldiers recieve a Christmas Package from the Southeast Idaho communtity.
  Due to the sheer size of this project it is going to take a lot of help to make it happen. While you are shopping keep this in mind and pick up a small donation for our local troops and drop it off at the National Guard Armory in either Idaho Falls or Pocatello before December 3rd. Here's are some suggestions for the gift boxes:
