DAR shares holiday spirit with soldiers overseas BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER OAK PARK HEIGHTS – The St. Croix River Valley chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is part of many volunteer events throughout the year, but the group has one particular favorite: the Shop, Ship and Share program, which sends care packages to military troops overseas. The DAR is provided with a list of goods – such as candy, snacks, stationary, DVDs, toiletries and other creature comforts – for troops serving active duty, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. Postal Service then donates boxes and shipping to get the packages to their destination. This year, the DAR packed 50 boxes. The DAR has been participating in this holiday activity for at least the last fi ve years. SUBMITTED Some of the soldiers who were recipients of the packages in years past wrote a letter back to the St. Croix River Valley DAR chapter, including a picture of a “snowman” they built from the empty boxes.

These bridges will allow disabled veterans who visit the camp to have full access around the camp and its natural habitat.
