Hundreds of troops from CFB Shilo have been heading overseas to take part in ‘Operation Reassurance’ in Latvia, and local group Brandon Salutes wants you to let them know they’re appreciated – you’re encouraged to sign a postcard with a “Hello from Home”.
The postcards are available at the Brandon Chamber of Commerce office, or at Cursed Coffee Co. in Shilo.
You’re encouraged to write a short message – for example: “Hello from (insert community here)”…or “Stay safe” – something that’ll let the soldiers know that they’re being supported on the home-front. Then just LEAVE YOUR CARD with the staff at the Chamber office or Cursed Coffee and they’ll be collected for a mass mailing overseas.
The deadline to fill out a card is July 15th.
