Vets for Freedom - Join them Today!

Vets for Freedom is a nonpartisan organization established by combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Their mission is to educate the American public about the importance of achieving success in these conflicts by applying their first-hand knowledge to issues of American strategy and tactics in Iraq.

They support policymakers from both sides of the aisle who have stood behind our great generation of American warriors on the battlefield, and who have put long-term national security before short-term partisan political gain.

Please go to their website and join their membership, it only takes a minute. www.VetsForFreedom.org

Special Thank You Video

MRS. JACKY’s SOLDIERS

A small group of volunteers in Oak Lawn, IL meet almost every week to pack and mail boxes to soldiers from the south side area or that have relatives in the same area. These soldiers in turn pass the material to their units and several units around them, continuously spreading out the good will from the community back home. It all started in March 2003 when a student’s parent from Mrs. Jacky’s early education classes at the Oak Lawn Park District was sent to Iraq. Items were collected and sent out weekly in small boxes. The soldiers’ names kept growing and so did the collections. Soon this group became known as “Mrs. Jacky’s Soldiers.”

The soldiers who have returned all say the same thing in their thanks to this group, “It was not what you sent, but that you sent all the time to show us that someone back home cares about us.” Their families also expressed their gratefulness that their soldier’s morale was being positively lifted with each box sent. Stamps, letters and items are accepted at Oak View Center at 4625 W 110^th Street in Oak Lawn, IL 60453. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mrs. Jacky at 708-857-2200. Thank you for your positive thoughts for the soldiers! Mrs. Jacky.
