A soldier in Iraq can't see your ribbon,
Or the Flag at your front door
But a letter they hold in their hands,
To them means so much more.

*Please do not send anything liquid that is not in a ziplock bag.  They leak and mess everything up.  Also, DO NOT send anything that has pork of any kind or any type of alcohol content.

Thanks again for all of your help.  Any items you can bring with you can be given to the Minnesota Military Families booth in the ballroom at the Family Fun Day event.  We hope you can make it!
