Holiday Mail for Heroes 2013

While you reflect on this past year and give thanks throughout the holiday season please do not forget our men and women in uniform. Many of those who volunteer to wear this nation's cloth and defend our freedom will be worlds away from their own families. To show their appreciation the American Red Cross hosted their seventh annual Holiday Mail for Heroes program.

SERVPRO participated by educating two local schools, Saxe Gotha Elementary and Carolina Springs Middle School, on great sacrifice our service members make daily and the importance of extending support during the Holidays. The kids then spent the class period writing heartfelt messages and drawing pictures for our troops. We always enjoy explaining what this program is about and seeing the children's faces light up as they fill out the cards. 

"The simple act of receiving a card with a holiday greeting or message of thanks is an enormous morale booster and can have a great impact on a military member" said, Bill Cronin, Chapter Executive of the Central South Carolina Chapter of the American Red Cross.
