Manatee Operation Troop Support-Packages for the Troops

Would you like a MADE IN AMERICA United States Flag for the upcoming patriotic holidays while helping to send packages to our deployed troops? Of course you would! MOTS (Manasota Operation Troop Support) has fabric flags on a 32" wooden handle with a gold painted tip for a donation of only $2.50/each! The proceeds go towards the MOTS mission to serve our local deployed soldiers. Call 941-782-0748, Tuesday or Friday afternoons from 1:00-4:00 p.m. to make sure Linda Craig, Director, or a volunteer is there to help you.

MOTS looks to the public for help with postage on a monthly basis. I stopped by yesterday and picked up 8 flags to share with my neighbors. Even though my husband and step-son have returned home safe & sound, there are still many men and woman still serving overseas. And they look so forward to receiving these boxes filled with various goodies, cards and letters. Please show your support by stopping by MOTS and purchasing some flags, or just to make a donation to help with the mailing of these packages. Thank you!       Debra Kilpatrick, Army wife
