Care packages: serious, but also fun

LLN (11/12/21) – It’s Day 5 of the 2021 OOIDA Truckers for Troops campaign. The Veterans Community Project has discovered an idea vital to helping transition their fellow vets into permanent housing – and that’s making the temporary housing like what they experienced in the military. Also, care packages are often full of serious stuff, but including fun things is just as important to morale. I’ll chat with one of the first care package recipients. And we’ll have a throwback to a 2010 interview by former News Anchor Reed Black with a soldier overseas, as well as some thank-you letters children wrote to troops in 2012.
