Support a Soldier

I digress from food for something more important....

I would like to tell you about Srgt. Rose Petersen. Rose has been my youngest sister's best friend since they were very young. Rose has no known father, and a mother that comes in and out of her life. She grew up in a very dire situation. After Rose graduated from a local high school she went directly into the Army. She loves the Army, serving her country, and all of the opportunities the Army has given her. She is an amazing person and I am lucky to know her.

Currently, Rose is serving her 2nd tour in Iraq. I can not comprehend what it must be like for her to be all alone and in the middle of a war, especially during the holidays. If you are looking to do something for a soldier this holiday season but did not know how to go about it, please consider adding Rose to your Christmas list, she is very deserving (like all of our soldiers, marines, etc). She is a very kind and giving soul.

Her address in Iraq:
Ssg Rose Petersen
LTF 6
1498 HET TC Maintenance Platoon
APO AE 09366

Because you are sending to an American Military base, Postage/Shipping are no different than sending something across town.

Thank you, Amanda Louden
