As you know, I'm heading to Afghanistan to visit local soldiers from the 432 Civil Affairs Batallion next week for Thanksgiving.  (Details HERE:  http://wixx.com/flatpages/maino-thanksgiving-afghanistan/)

Thank you to EVERYBODY who has donated snacks and DVD's for the troops. I'll be bringing some of these with me to distribute and we'll be shipping the rest separately.  Thanks also to Express Convenience Centers and Green Bay Phoenix Basketball for helping fund my trip. 

On Saturday, hosted an event for Veterans at the Yacht Club, and some local children made THESE signs showing their support and we had everybody sign them to bring to the trooops when I visit.  Small things like this go a long way with these brave Men and Women.

Keep checking my blog for updates througout my journey!!  God Bless the U.S.A!!
