Albuquerque Merchants and Organizations Donate Gifts for Soldiers throughout U.S.
Ft. Bliss, TX – Congresswoman Heather Wilson is traveling to Ft. Bliss, Texas, tomorrow to visit troops stationed there in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Wilson’s visit comes as part of a nine Member Congressional delegation touring several bases and military installations throughout the nation.
Wilson is seeking to bring troops a taste of her home state, and with the help of New Mexico merchants and organizations, Wilson is doing just that.
“The hard-working members of our military honor us with their service,” says Wilson. “New Mexico as a community is very generous and I want to thank the organizations that gave freely so that our soldiers can have a taste of our state, and so that we can honor our soldiers, even if just briefly. A salsa or chile packet in the field can make all the difference to a soldier eating an MRE. And hockey and UNM Lobo shirts, and trinkets like state pins, will be welcome reminders that New Mexicans appreciate their service.”
