Care Packages for the Troops

On July 7, 2011, the Ladies Auxiliary to Lititz Springs VFW Post 1463 presented a $465 check to the organizers of the Lititz, PA Care Packages for the Troops to help defray costs of shipping the packages to Iraq, Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa. The money was donated by area residents at several recent Buddy Poppy events. The Ladies Auxiliary thanks everyone who wears a poppy and donates to the Buddy Poppy Veterans Program. VFW and Auxiliary members also helped setup, pack and mail the care packages.
