Holidays for Heroes - Veterans Day Parade Drive
FM 106.1 deserves a big “hell yeah” for their Holidays for Heroes drive at the Veterans Day Parade in Milwaukee this Saturday. FM 106.1, along with Wisconsin We Care, the Milwaukee County War Memorial and the Veterans Day Parade of Milwuakee, Inc. are gathering items to send to the troops serving overseas.
There are some wonderful programs out there which are geared towards helping individuals send care packages to soldiers overseas. Soldiers Angels is one of the most well-known of these programs. The problem, however, is that shipping a large care package overseas can be very cost-prohibitive for those who do want to give. Drives like this Saturday’s Holidays for Heroes drive lets us skip that shipping cost so we can focus on getting more good stuff to our troops.
At this time, they are asking for donations of holiday items - greeting cards, decorations, etc. - non perishable food items, and items to pass the time like crossword puzzle books. A full list of suggestions can be found on FM 106.1’s website.
The 44th Annual Veterans Day Parade begins at 10:00 a.m. this Saturday, November 10, 2007. The parade steps off from 4th and Kilbourn and heads East to the War Memorial, ending in Veterans Park.
