Deputies collect Christmas gifts for deployed troops
The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office is collecting Christmas gifts for deployed troops from the 382 Aviation Regiment station in Kandahar Afghanistan.
Suggested items include movies, toiletries for men and women, books, puzzles, I-Tunes cards, games, snacks (no pork products) and Christmas cards.
Money is welcome too – and will be used to purchase items to send to the 500 troops with the regiment.
Collection runs through Nov. 6 and can be dropped off at the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office at 1088 N.C. 65 in Wentworth.
A side note – from being on the receiving end of such gifts during a deployment, I can tell you first-hand how much this stuff is truly appreciated by our soldiers.
It makes being away from home in a foreign land on the Christmas holiday just a little bit easier.
