Madison County Military Morale Booster:
"Operation Warm Heart"

Lisa Davis, Vice Commander of the American Legion Post 157 is coordinating a worthy project for our Madison County troops.
excerpt...
"Be part of Madison County's "Operation Warm Heart" which is a mass campaign of letters and hand drawn pictures that will be sent to our military service men and women. We are in the process of gathering names of military personnel with roots here in our county - having a home here or family ties like parents, siblings or grandparents. We already have several names and and addresses but need your help to insure that letters and pictures are sent to every Madison troop. "Operation Warm Heart" is not just for personnel stationed in areas of conflict. Our goal is that every Madison Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine and Coast Guard service member will be sent a little piece of home to let them know we care, respect and appreciate what they are doing for our country.

To meet overseas mailing timeline all letters and pictures (no larger than letter size) will be collected during the week of 10 November... This campaign is open to all ages. Remember you can make a big difference during this upcoming holiday season!

If you have someone you would like to add to our list, please provide their name, rank and address as soon as possible."

Sincerely,
Lisa Davis, VIce Commander
