The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission has repeated a donation it has made in the past by sending 8000 copies of “Wildlife in North Carolina” magazine to “Give2TheTroops”. They are an organization that sends care packages to the deployed troops.

“The idea that our soldiers can open the magazine and those photos and stories can take them away and bring them back home – if only for a few moments – is gratifying,” said Barbara Whitehead, the state Give2TheTroops director. “The imagery of Wildlife in North Carolina provides our soldiers with a welcome break from all that brown in Iraq, whether it’s the mountains or the coast or in-between. It is truly appreciated. It never goes out of date.”

Where many of our troops are based in North Carolina I’m sure they’ll enjoy seeing and reading about North Carolina even if it’s not really home for them. Keep our troops in your prayers and if you can do something to help them please do even if it’s just thanking them when you run into them in the community.
