A Veteran
- whether active duty, retired, national guard
or reserve--
is someone who, at one point in his or her life,
wrote a blank check made payable to "The
United States of America",
for an amount of "up
to and including their life".
That is Honor, and it seems there are way too many people in
this country who no longer understand that
simple fact.

8th. Annual Stockings for Soldiers
Welcome .
to
2011
Stockings For Soldiers
Community Project!
To
visit he official website for the
2011
Stockings For Soldiers go here
http://www.stockingsforsoldiers.org
This
year marks the 8th
consecutive year of our community effort to
send personalized
Holiday greetings to our brave young men and
women in uniform serving their Country
half-way around the world.
Thanks to the great generosity of Louis
Capano & Sons, the owners of the Branmar
Plaza shopping center, we are so pleased to
announce that our “Stocking Store” will be
located at the same Branmar Plaza location
that we have used for the past five years.
Our “Stocking Store” will once again be
located in the vacant
Patterson-Schwartz office, to the left of
Happy Harry’s at Silverside and Marsh Roads
in Wilmington, Delaware. We would like to
thank the wonderful folks at
Patterson-Schwartz Realty Company for
allowing us to use their vacant office all
these years.
Our official kick-off date for this year’s
project is Monday, October 10th.
At 6:30 P.M. that evening, we will open the
doors of our “Stocking Store” and begin work
on sewing and decorating thousands of
Christmas stockings. Over the next seven
weeks, we will be personalizing each
stocking with the recipient’s name, stuffing
them with goodies, boxing them and shipping
them to troops in the remotest regions of
Afghanistan and Iraq.
Last year, over
500
great volunteers helped us to mail out 1,500
boxes packed with 9,000 homemade,
personalized Christmas Stockings that were
filled with over 42,000 pounds of Goodies.
We also made and shipped 2,500 polar fleece
blankets and 500 knitted hats for our
troops.

A Thought to live with:
"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has
given us the freedom of the press. It is the
soldier, not the poet, who has given us the
freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not
the campus organizer, who gives us the
freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier
who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the
flag, and whose coffin is draped by the
flag, who allows the protester to burn the
flag."
- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC
