In November, Christmas-themed backpacks were filled with Beanie babies, candy, activity books, pencils and plush snowballs for indoor snowball fights and will be gifted to the children of deployed airmen at the children’s annual Christmas party this month.
“The gifts for the children’s Christmas party and Rebecca Galloway’s Holiday Store continues our Chapter’s tradition,” said Tammy Jetton, Vice Regent of the Rebecca Galloway Chapter. “Project Patriot is a committee established by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Its goal is to honor our active duty military through projects organized at the National, State and local Chapter levels.”
This project gives chapter members a chance to voice their appreciation, to support military families and to honor the active duty military, the release said.
