Looking for military pen pals

To the Editor:

My name is Shannon Johnson. I am the leader of the Troy VFW Junior Girls Unit. The Junior Girls Unit consists of girls aged 5-16 and are here to help the VFW Post #5514 and their Ladies Auxiliary, which help Veterans and their families.

There are only three VFW Junior Girls Units in the whole state of Montana, Troy is one of them.

The Troy Junior Girls Unit would like to get more involved by writing letters and sending occasional care packages to people from Troy who are in the military, whether they are overseas or not.

But, we need your help. We only know the names of a couple of them but don't know addresses.

Do you know of someone in the military? If so, could you write down their name and address and drop it off at Troy's Uptown Video for Radar (aka me); or mail it to PO Box 864, Troy MT 59935; or email it to shannonfrommt@hotmail.com (w/ "Junior Girls" in the subject line.) Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know of a Veteran or family of one who needs help or just wants some company.

If you do, contact me at (home) 295-4466 and ask for Shannon or at (work) 295-5531.
