Deployment... When filling out your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address: Any Canadian Forces Member... PO Box 5140 Stn Forces Belleville ON K8N 5W6 If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards will be sent overseas to these wonderful, special people, who have sacrificed so much. All cards are free to this address from now until Christmas. It would be great to also get your children to do a card to help teach them about the sacrifices being made by the people who can’t be home with their families over the holidays. PLEASE SEND A CARD, THOSE LITTLE GESTURES MAKE A HUGE IMPACT IN OTHERS LIVES Already have mine done.
