Columbia, Missouri Santa for Soldiers- please remember ALL our brave soliders serving in Iraq

Help support the brave men and women of Missouri who are serving in Iraq over this holiday season. KOMU Channel 8 and Loveall RV are joining together for the Santa for Soldiers campaign. All donations will be accepted at Loveall RV until December 17^th and all will be given directly to Missouri soldiers.

Loveall RV is located at Exit 133, off of I-70 on the east side of Columbia.

If you aren't from Columbia, but happen to be driving through on I-70, why don't you drop something off? Also, you may check to see if a similar program is being sponsored in your area to help your local soldiers.

My brother in law has missed the past several Christmas's while serving his country and I know how much these packages mean to them during this time. He returned to Iraq a few weeks before Thanksgiving and his wife, kids and family will be praying for his safe return.
