Many of our families have enjoyed having their military children home for the holidays before heading back to duty. As we begin a new year, our thoughts and prayers remain with our troops and our families for a happy and safe New Year!! Our chapter is busy, come as you can. We're looking forward to packing Valentine Freedom Boxes in a few weeks, a River Rats game, our Blue Jean Ball, and time spent together with both old and new friends who share our common bond. Happy 2008!
