Students to send letters to NMI soldiers

Posted on Nov 08 2004

Public and private school students in the Commonwealth are writing holiday letters to CNMI military personnel who won’t be home in the CNMI for the holidays.

The letters are part of Project Holiday Cheer, which is being sponsored by the Office of the Governor, the Public School System, the Office of Military and Veterans Affairs, VFW Post 3457, the Pacific STAR Center for Young Writers, and the Pacific STAR Young Writers Foundation.

Packets will include letters and a t-shirt designed by one of the student illustrators.

“If you have a family member or know someone in the military who won’t be home for the holidays, please provide us with an address so a packet can be mailed from the CNMI community,” project organizers said in a statement.

There will be a Pacific STAR table at the Veteran’s Day ceremonies this Thursday, Nov. 11, 10:30am-12:30pm at the American Memorial Park. Individuals can also page Katharyn Tuten-Puckett at 236-READ and she will return the call to get the address.
