Many of you know that I am heavily involved with the American Legion here in Granite City. One of our very loyal members is a 1SG in the Army and has recently deployed to Afghanistan. American Legion Post #113 in Granite is now taking a collection of items to send to Greg and his troops. Since his deployment was very recent, we are shooting for a ship date of the end of the year. We are asking for donations of the following items. If you can help out, that would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. We are also taking cash donations to assist us with the postage. Before I list everything, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
