Local Vietnam Vets Raising Money for 101st's Kids

The Paducah chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America (chapter 337) is once again coordinating fund-raising efforts for the "Little Soldiers Christmas Tree" program at Fort Campbell's Army base.

The annual drive helps ensure that children of members of the 101st Airborne Division get toys at Christmas. Soldiers from Fort Campbell have borne the brunt of the battle in the Middle East, and many of their families are struggling financially. Last year's fun raised over $6,000, thanks to generosity of private donors and other veteran's groups, and after the chapter brought their toys, as many as 2,000 children received gifts at the Army base.

Please consider helping Chapter 337 of VVA as they serve the men and women who protect us every day, by providing toys.

Donations can be made to VVA Chapter 337, and can be mailed to P.O. Box 191, Paducah, KY 42002-0191.
