We are still collecting items for our troops in Iraq & Afghanistan (see list below). These items can be brought to the Legion Hall whenever the building is open.

In partnership with the local Elks Lodge and our Post members, we hold a "box-up" day on the first Saturday of every month, and send the filled boxes to service members who are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan (Military Honor Roll). Many, if not most, of the recipients have a local family connection.

If you know of a soldier/sailor/airman/marine/guardsman deployed to a war zone, please share his or her mailing address with us. In order to send a goodie box, we need a complete, current delivery address and, if possible, the number of troops in the service member's unit.

We also try to include Pocket Flags in every care package we send out. As of January 2009, we have folded and sent 1800 Pocket Flags to troops deployed in Iraq, and have received another 300 to work on! (Thank you, Willie Mae!)

Folding party at the L.C. Sammons Youth Center in Mountain Home in July 2006.
The 10 kids folded about 75 flags in less than an hour!

Folding party with a local Boy Scout troop in March 2007,
where 54 flags were folded for the troops.
