In January, Marianne Giambrone, secretary to Fort Lauderdale Postmaster Mike Fortunato and Board member of Broward's Navy League Council, shared that her council was working with a non-profit group, Operation Homefront. Together, they were providing care packages to military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Operation Homefront filled the Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes, and the Council paid the shipping costs. Below is a thank you letter from the grateful recipients:Thank you to the Navy League of Broward County very much for the deodorant, shampoo, and toothpaste ... all needed here! Here's a photo of one of our Marines and soldiers (I'm the sailor who took the picture) displaying two of the many boxes received. As for the one box marked "Personal," an extra special thanks for the Rokeach hammantaschen ... just in time for Purim.
