Socks for Soldiers is a wonderful organization in Amarillo that sends care packages to our troops in the war zones, primarily Afghanistan and Iraq. Since its induction in 2005 Socks for Soldiers has sent our more than 20,000 care packages to our hard working men and women in the military. Socks for Soldiers can always use more donations but what they are needing now is troops. If you know of someone who is serving overseas in the military then contact Socks for Soldiers so your soldier can receive one of these awesome care packages.
In a White House briefing held Friday, President Obama announced the remaining American troops in Iraq will be home by the end of the year, closing a war effort there that has killed more than 4,400 US servicepeople and wounded 32,000 more since 2003.
“After nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over,” the president said.
