Robert Broyles Senior Project - Support for our Troops

Robert Broyles, Bret Harte Senior and Copperopolis resident, has created a senior project to support our troops "to send care packages to military personnel to raise morale and help them out a little bit."

NOTE:
I am not allowed to ship anything with a religious or condescending connotation. If anything of that nature is donated I will have to discard it. Also, if you know of anybody in the military that I can send to, give me all of their information (Name, Rank, Job Title, Address, etc.) and I will see what I can do. So far I have three contacts that I can ship to so more could be useful.
