Sheriff: Thank You For Donations To Soldiers

Wentworth, NC -- Last month Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page announced a project called A Soldier's Christmas. Now he wants to say thank you to those that donated.

Deputy Cynthia Blackwell has a son serving with the 382nd Aviation Regiment in Kandahar, Afghanistan. That prompted the sheriff's office to collect donations to send the troops for Christmas.

This weekend Blackwell took a truck full of toiletries, books, puzzles, games and snacks to Fort Bragg. The care package will be shipped to nearly 500 soldiers in Afghanistan.

The sheriff's office wants to thank the public and AFG Wipes Inc, who made a large donation of personal care wipes.

Page and Blackwell say they hope the donations will provide a special holiday season for the 500 members of our military.
