Chumuckla, Fl (February 22, 2005) - Congressman Jeff Miller (R-FL) and Congressman Jo Bonner (R-AL) today urged Northwest Floridians and South Alabamians to reach out and show support for our military through the third annual “Treats for Troops” program. This program will allow patriots in the Florida Panhandle and the Alabama Gulf Coast to purchase Girl Scout cookies to be sent to deployed military personnel from these areas who are stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas in the Middle East.
“This is a great opportunity to send a little taste of home to the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who are in theater. Folks will have an opportunity to purchase a box of Girl Scout cookies at Bel Air Mall in Mobile and Cordova Mall in Pensacola and the UPS stores will ship them to our service men and women overseas,” said Congressman Miller.
“I am extremely proud to participate with my friend Jeff Miller and the Girl Scouts of America in this very worthwhile program,” Bonner said. “Having at one time personally visited our men and women stationed in the Central Command Theater of Operations, I know how very important it is for us here at home to show our support for the military. They are performing a difficult and dangerous task, and many have been away from their friends and families for quite some time. The ‘Treats for Troops’ program is a great way to show our armed forces that we care and to send them a small slice of life from back home.”
Clear Channel Communications will be broadcasting live from both malls during regular shopping hours beginning at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 4 and continuing until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 6. In addition to Congressmen Bonner and Miller, several local celebrities are expected to participate.
