As the holiday season approaches we often begin to think of ways we can help others. This year Rebecca, my daughter and wife of Captain Stephen Thorpe, and Star, wife of Lt. Eric Bradley, are spear-heading a project to provide Christmas "stockings" for the men of Charlie Company. This is a group of approximately 167 infantry soldiers who are stationed in Iraq for 15 months. I am helping by sewing some of the 167 stockings, which will be filled with candy and various other items. We hope these gifts provide a bit of "cheer" on Christmas Day, as these men will be far away from their loved ones.
If you would like to give toward this project please e-mail or post a comment and I will respond with the information. Here is a photo of one of the completed "stockings". Thank-you for your generosity and willingness to remember our servicemen and women. Let us continue to pray for their safety; both physically and spiritually.

Nancy, Let me know how me and my class can help. Maybe Rebecca could even put us in touch with other companies that need some cheer. It is so much better when you know someone personally involved. Thanks for the info. Annette in Illinois
