WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2006 -- Time is running out to get the stockings of troops stationed in Iraq stuffed through Operation Christmas Stocking. The deadline to get needed items to the programs warehouse is Nov. 1.
This is the second year that Operation Give and Stars for Stripes have teamed up to spread holiday cheer to those stationed far from home. Operation Give and Stars for Stripes are both members of the Defense Departments America Supports You program, which highlights grassroots and corporate support of U.S. servicemembers. |
