TSgt. Ben Vorheis, son of Mary Vorheis, who is stationed at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan with a Combat Search and Rescue team, sent a special American flag to the library that was flown on one of their missions.
Along with the flag is a framed document stating that it is presented to Burton Memorial Library in appreciation for support and caring for our military troops involved in “Operation Enduring Freedom.”
Friends of the library sent recordable story books to a unit in Afghanistan so that the military members could record their own voices as they read the story to their children at home. The military members then sent the books to their sons and daughters who are anxiously waiting for Daddy and Mommy to come home to them.
This shipment is just one of the many that have been sent overseas to the troops by Friends of the Library members and patrons who put items in the Troop Box at the Library.
If you would like to contribute items to be sent overseas, stop by and get a list of the items needed by the men and women serving there and in Iraq.
