Edited 3/17: Added photos of Atwood and Samples.
In addition to my blog entry last week, my story in today’s Journal News explains a bit more about the “Support Our Troops Drive†being held this Sunday in the basement of St. Augustine’s Church, 18 Cherry Ave., from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Recipients include Capt. Ryan Samples, the Army Ranger who plans to wed Larchmont nanny Michelle Atwood
during his two-week leave in May. (The LoHud blogs are still experiencing technical difficulties, so I can’t upload any photos right now – I’ll try again Monday.) Here’s a photo of Samples in northern Iraq, and with his fiancee last fall.
Travel-sized donations – no chocolate, large liquids or used items – will be accepted Financial contributions can help defray the cost of shipping. Volunteers are also welcome to help assemble the boxes and write letters to the troops on the day of the event.
For more information, post a comment on this blog entry (click on the “Comments†link at the bottom of this post) or contact organizer Jennie McFarland at jennie.mcfarland@verizon.net.
