Each year the American Red Cross

provides assistance to more than 2 million

service members and many of our nation’s

24 million veterans. They support military

families, military and veteran’s hospitals

and provide emergency communications

across the globe. And once a year, they get

the joy of delivering holiday cards to

veterans, military families and active-duty

service members at hospitals and installations around the world. Join the

Wyandanch Public Library to help show our veterans how much we care by

creating hand-made Holiday cards that will delivered through a local agency.

The cards and personal messages, sent by tens of thousands of Americans,

provide a welcome “touch of home” for our troops during the holiday season.

All participants will receive a free book courtesy of Adelphi University!

many Western doctors are now recommending it to
