The American Red Cross wants your help to send holiday cheer to US troops.

They were in the state capitol today collecting holiday cards from state leaders. The cards will be mailed out in mid-December and go troops serving overseas. Spokesperson Christy Rojas-Kasten says the messages lets soldiers know people back home are thinking about them.

“Even though they may never meet those people I think it’s a special sentiment to think that people back home are excited to see them come back,” said Rojas-Kasten.

The Red Cross will continue to collect cards at their local chapters and anything they receive postmarked by December 9th, will be sent overseas.
