I had the honor of participating in a "Packing Party" for the troops today. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning! It was sponsored by the Sacramento Blue Star Moms and held at the Veteran's Hall. Lots of volunteers turned out to take their place in the assembly line and pack a box for a soldier. It was amazing to see the huge numbers of items that had been donated.
I was able to go through and pack about 10 boxes, and in the process I was able to visit with wonderful people--mostly moms with sons over in Iraq or Afghanistan. There were quite a few people from the community packing too, just wanting to help and be supportive. By 11:45AM there were 750 boxes packed, taped, addressed, and on their way to soldiers!
