Brubaker Urges Area Residents to Take Part In Effort to Send Holiday Cards to Soldiers

HARRISBURG – Senator Mike Brubaker (R-Lancaster) is encouraging area residents to support their service personnel during this holiday season by taking part in an effort to send holiday cards to soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

Brubaker is collecting cards at his district office which will then be sent to the Red Cross for distribution to soldiers who are receiving treatment at Walter Reed.

"It's a great way to share the holiday spirit with our soldiers and show them how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice," Brubaker said.  "At this time of year, it is especially important to remember these service men and women and their families."

Cards can be dropped off at Senator Brubaker's district office, located on 301 East Main Street in Lititz until the close of business on December 3, 2009.  For more information, contact Jennifer Frees at 717-627-0036.

The Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) is the United States Army's flagship medical center on the east coast of the United States.  It serves more than 150,000 active and retired personnel from all branches of the military.
