To the editor:

As this holiday season quickly approaches I hope that all of us are able to find time to spend with family, friends, and loved ones. Currently, there are many armed service members overseas protecting our freedoms who will not be able to enjoy the same time with those loved ones that you and I can.

That is why I am supporting FOX News 92.5 right here in Lee County in their quest to send at least 10,000 cards to troops this holiday season. You can send messages to our troops by mailing your cards to: 10,000 For The Troops, P.O. Box 877, Fort Myers, FL 33902.

Merry Christmas.
