Happy Easter 2018
Happy Easter to All our Troops!

We just completed a very special Easter Pack, making 300 Outstanding cartons for our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Coasties.  We understand the first of the boxes are starting to hit their targets.  We are still putting postage on the boxes and getting them into the Postal System and hope to have all the boxes in the system by Easter.  God Bless America and God Bless Our Troops!
