"Love From Texas," a care package project, is
sponsored by DFW Marine Corps Families, a non profit
organization dedicated to providing friendship, support, and
encouragement to Marines and their families.
We encourage individuals, groups, and businesses
to continue a show of support to our military men and women
whose service to our country continues on a daily basis. During
times of war it is very easy for us to show our patriotism by
flying our flags and supporting our troops, but our support
should not end just because major combat has.
The media coverage
of these continuing efforts is not as prominent as it was during
the height of the war, which is why we must make
every effort to see that Americans do not forget
the daily sacrifices our troops are making on behalf of our
country and a country whose people deserve to know the same
freedoms and securities that we enjoy here in America.
By making a donation
to "Love From Texas," you can
show our military men and women that you have not forgotten them
- that you support their efforts in times of war and in peace.
Receiving a "gift" from home can make all the difference in the
world; just read our letters of thanks for proof of that! The
items we include in care packages are certainly nothing
glamorous, just the basic essentials and a few favorite snacks
to remind them of home, but the sentiment conveyed is priceless.
Any amount you can donate will help enormously and will
certainly bring a smile and debt of gratitude from those who
receive it.
