Support Our Troops Care Package Party Sat. May 24

Written by: Teresa Crawford on May 21, 2008 9:26 PM EDT

Dear DFA Friends,

     Unbelievably, it's been a year since DFA member and head of the Democratic Veterans and Military Families Caucus, Elliot Anderson, organized the first party to build care packages. Over 100 people attended and we prepared 115 boxes for shipment to soldiers in Iraq.  The message that good citizens can support the troops, but not the war, came through loud and clear in the great media coverage.

     Bring whatever you can: snacks, toiletries, batteries, books and magazines. I just filled a cart at CostCo.

      Please join us Saturday morning 9 AM at the Laborers' Union, 4201 East Bonanza Rd. (West of N. Lamb). Call me if you want more info.  526-8445

Peace,

Teresa Crawford

Join the Nevada Democratic Veterans & Military Families Caucus, US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley, and Nevada State Senator Dina Titus to

"Walk the Talk," and support our troops overseas.  Its one thing to talk about how we care about our heroes overseas, it's another thing to actually do something to care for them.  Nevada's elected officials, veterans, military family members, and all concerned Americans will get together to send care packages over to our troops overseas.  We will be meeting at

Laborers' International Union Local No. 872

4201 East Bonanza Road, Las Vegas, NV 89110
