Here’s what the chapter did in response to this letter in the Krum Star:

Dear Citizens:

My daddy is asking for our help. He is a fireman for the United States Air Force and is in Iraq for his third time. He has asked me to gather school supplies for my friends in Iraq for school. Will you please help me show my daddy that the citizens within Krum do support him?

This will make my daddy happy as he is a Denton County Deputy Sheriff and on the SWAT team. He is my hero and I’m sure a Hero from someone in Denton County, it will be my wish that my daddy will get all the school supplies and win his competition over there with other bases.

The supply list includes but no limited to the following:

Stapler, Notebook paper, Notebook, 10 pack of pencils, 10 pack of pens, 10 erasers, Ruler, Protractor, Box of crayons/chalk, Scissors

For each of these items my daddy will get one point, for items not listed they will be at least one point.

Whoever sends my daddy the most supplies will have a flag flown in their honor on a mission with a certificate signed by everyone on that mission. When he gets home he’ll present the flag and certificate in uniform to say THANKS.

Thanks for your help in helping my daddy, if you have any questions please call my mommy at ……

Thanks to all of our members who contributed!
