The folks of the Welcome Home Association, the group that does the Project Support Our Troops, held hands in prayer before their monthly packing Tuesday night. The group send boxes monthly to soldiers on active duty, mostly overseas. They gather names and add them to the list. Some packings have been over 100 boxes that had to be packed and mailed. The organizers say that there is so much that goes into the effort from getting the donated items, sorting through them, collecting donated money for postage, organizing the packing and arranging for postal pick-up---and that just scratches the surface of the effort. Each box gets a letter as well. I've been impressed by this groups resolve to continue to do this. The list hasn't gotten smaller, they add and add names. The group has more names now than ever and are in need of more items to send. They'll send as much as they have to send, so they are always looking for more and more. Anyone interested in donating can check out their website by clicking on Project Support out Troops or the picture above. Meadville Tribune photographs by Richard Sayer
