"Our troops are performing a tremendous service for our country and we
wanted to help them feel comfortable while they are away from home this
holiday season," said Roman Kagan, CEO of Appliance Parts Pros. "I work
with a former Marine and recognize the hardships that our soldiers face on
a daily basis. After seeing requests for these types of items on message
boards and forums we decided to help out."
The "Comforts of Home" packages have been sent to the men and women of
Alpha Co. 3/69 AR and 2ND PLT, A BTRY 1-9 FA in Iraq and 1-508th PIR 82nd
ABN DIV in Afghanistan.
The 80 packages have a retail value of $60 each, not including
shipping.
"Serving overseas for long periods of time can be tough on both the
soldier and their family back home. We wanted to make sure the soldiers can
connect with their loved ones over the holidays and we hope including the
300 minute Military Exchange Prepaid Calling Card in the package helps them
do that," stated Kagan.
