Afghanistan Christmas‏

Nelson-Conley American Legion Post #66, Lisbon Falls, recently shipped 8
large boxes of Christmas gifts to two platoons in Afghanistan, four to
each platoon, the boxes containing a total of 30 individual gift bags
for each platoon, and with a value of over $900.00, all except $50.00
coming from individual monetary donations from Post members. Each
platoon had a Lisbon connection, a Marine platoon in which Max Wrede,
son of Russ Wrede, is serving, and a 101st Airborne platoon in which
Matthew Trimble, grandson of Ralph Garnet, is serving. This was the 8th
year for this project of Post 66.
