Giving that Makes a Difference to our Troops "I recently received one of the beautiful trees at the Ft. Eustis Army base. I wanted to say thank you very much, it is a wonderful and heartfelt gesture that outstanding Americans from around our great nation donate to this program and that FedEx delivers to bases all around the USA. We are very grateful for all involved that make this possible.” - John “I just wanted to say a big Thank You for your generosity!

It blesses our home and our hearts so much. These trees not only send a message of love and support, but they also send a message of help and concern during the Holiday Season.
