Sending greetings to our troops

With the upcoming holidays comes the perfect opportunity to reach out across the many miles that separate the men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces from their families and friends.

If your son, daughter, wife, husband,

brother or sister is serving in the military

and won’t be home for the holidays,

send us his or her name, rank and full

militarymailing address. Include a photo

if you’d like, and be sure to note the

person’s connection to the area.

The Vindicator will publish that

information Nov. 16, to give readers

the chance to share their holiday

cheer with our servicemen and

servicewomen by sending a card, letter

or package to express appreciation for

our soldiers’ sacrifices.

The Vindicator, Attn. Barb Shaffer, P.O.
