Operation Once in a Lifetime

If you would like to help a military family this holiday season, go check out this website: www.operationonceinalifetime.com. You can make donations here for such good reasons as: securing toys for soldiers’ kids; money to help fly a soldier home for the holidays; linens and toiletries for soldiers from the 21st combat hospital who are returning to their barracks; to help a military family suffering from the recession to pay utility bills and medical bills not covered by military health care.

Operation Once in a Lifetime can be found on Facebook. Go there to see stories and videos of soldiers who have been helped by the organization. Since 2007 they have helped 11,522 soldiers.

If you know someone in your local VFW post, you could also call them and ask how you can help this holiday season to make some military family’s celebrations better. It’s difficult to be away from your family on the holidays, especially for those serving overseas. Remember those overseas also by donating money to send them some special treats over the holidays.

Together we can help our military get through the holidays with a smile on their faces.
