Soldier's Angels
I received this e-mail from a Soldier's Angel and am happy to help such a great organization get the word out by posting it.
Hello. My name is Lisa ****** and I'm with Soldiers' Angels. We are currently working on our Christmas from Home drive and we are coming up short on donations. We were wondering if you would be kind enough to post the following news release on your blog. It is our goal to see that every member of the Military receives a little piece of home for Christmas. If you can't we understand but if you could we certainly would appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Lisa ******
