Ed. Note: The following is an important announcement from Bruce Martin of a new American Legion project starting up in Walpole.   CCB

Subject:  Christmas Parcels for Service Members in the Combat Zone

    American Legion Post #77 is conducting a drive to assemble gift packages for service members serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and nearby areas supporting the combat forces.  We want to help ensure that New Hampshire service members receive these packages before Christmas.

    We ask that you bring items to the Post, 73 Main Street in Walpole, between 9 am and 12 noon on Saturday, November 10. 

    The suggestions on the posted list--below--came from service members in the war zone and we offer them as a guide for supporting our effort to put gift boxes together.  If you are not a shopper or lack the time to purchase items for use in the packages but still want to support this effort, money is always welcome and we will shop for you.  Checks should be sent to American Legion Post #77, PO Box 156, Walpole, NH 03608.

    This is a wonderful opportunity to show these young men and women that they are remembered and that we appreciate what they are doing for their country.  Take time in your busy life to help us make this effort a big success!

    Point of contact for questions is Bruce Martin, 756-3439.
