Brentwood PTSA Operation Embrace

The PTSA is starting a program called Operation Embrace. This program is for our service men and women who are serving our country. As there are members from our community serving over seas, we would just like them to know they are not forgotten. I have received a few names of graduates from Brentwood High School who are serving. If anyone has any other names along with addresses please send them to the PTSA.
We have printed up a few cards that you can sign and if you may add a note. Please put your return address either on the inside of the card or on envelope. These cards will go to the names I receive. If you would like to send them to any service man, just mark the envelope, as they will be sent to those from Brentwood who will be able to give them out to others.
We have received some requests from the troops as to what like/need. Below is a list of what can be sent. The bold items have been requested a few times. If you would like to donate just send it to the PTSA. You may bring items to a PTSA meeting also. Depending on the amount of items receive will depend on how many times per week we will send them.
