Forgotten Soldiers by Tina G. Korn
The Not-for-Profit corporation Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Inc., began in October, 2003. It is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to shipping packages to our U.S. Troops deployed overseas. Their success is due to the collaboration of communities, schools, businesses and other organizations whose desire it is to encourage and inspire our uniformed men and women, for as long as they are deployed.
The founders, Lynelle Chauncey Baggett and William Baggett, Jr. have worked tirelessly to publicize this organization and to help it expand. The average cost of sending a box of necessities to a soldier is approximately $19.00. The box typically includes: snack foods, toiletries, magazines, etc. Many community fund-raising groups have taken up this cause and, by placing envelopes on the tables of luncheons, etc., they have collected hundreds of dollars from our area.
Would you like to write to a soldier? There is an on line form to enter a message that will be sent to a random soldier............or............you may register the name of a person who is serving at this time.
