Hello Idaho!
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
We lost three fine young soldiers from our community. To honor them and all of Idaho’s fallen for their ultimate sacrifice we are sending gift boxes to the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team 3rd Infantry division unit #5960 in which SGT Blake Stephens served. He was killed in the Triangle of death near Baghdad.
Col. Wayne Grigsby, Jr. SGT Stephen’s commanding officer emailed the Stephens family recognizing the great support they [the family] received from the Pocatello/Chubbuck community. He stated how inspiring the strong show of support impacted the entire brigade of nearly 4000.
United We Stand in Idaho
is honored to show our appreciation for
all who defend our freedom.
Contributions of cards, letters, beef jerky, peanuts in the shell, sunflower seeds, corn nuts, card games, books, magazines, action DVD’s, and music CD’s top the list of items soldiers enjoy.
The cost of shipping is approximately $8.90 per box.
If you wish to assist with any of the items above or to donate toward the cost of shipping, it will be greatly appreciated. All boxes sent by Dec. 10th should arrive by Christmas. At the very least a New Years surprise would be a great way to start 2008.
Donation locations include: All Key Bank branches, Potelco Credit Union, The Fabric Place, and The Idaho National Guard Armory.
