CHUCK A PUCK

Pucks sell for about a $1 each. Attendees throw them on the ice in between periods for a chance to win prizes.

We have also earned the opportunity to be the Chuck a Puck at this game. We will be looking for Volunteers to helps us co-ordinate, and sell the pucks at the game. If you or your group is interested in helping, please let me know.

Far too often, the commitment of our service people is forgotten and OCC specializes in programs that help service people to communicate and connect with family, friends and loved ones through the unique web-based environment.We have various programs that aim to support the troops’ personal needs. From an online message center, to a photo album, to a place to donate various items to and for our troops. Best of all, OCC carries it’s commitment to service people that are at home as well. For some, returning home can be a very trying and stressful experience. We want to see our troops get the very best and we are committed to this very idea. Please feel free to click around our site and please, take a moment to consider giving to OCC as we support the very people who protect our freedoms every day!

Operation Community Cares is an organization that proactively supports the health and welfare of our American Servicemen and Women across the globe.

Its very heart warming to know how many of you have come together to donate your time and money for us fighting this difficult war. Its really nice to know that there are a lot of you out there that support us even though the wars popularity is rapidly decreasing.

I cannot begin to tell you how I feel about the homecoming… what a wonderful world this would be if all people were like the group of people who welcomed my brother home.

He was shocked and genuinely overcome with emotion. There was not a dry eye to be found. My mother was in awe, his wife and children moved to tear at the out pouring of respect and honor that was given to my brother.

My sincere thanks to all of you.

Thank you so much for care packages

What is the protocol to follow? one of the letters has an email address, is that ok to reply back ? On my last deployment, my son’s school send me letters too and I send letters back to the school, kids were thrilled! Please advice. Thank you in advance.
