Operation: Call to Duty

As Republicans, we respect the “call of duty” for the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces both here and abroad. We feel it is our duty to honor them by answering our own “call to duty.”

We will be collecting items to send to those service men and women deployed in dangerous areas overseas. Please help us honor them by contributing an item. Simply look at the list of approved items below and drop your items off at the Montgomery County Republican Headquarters on Vaughn Road. Once a box is full, we’ll send it off to our overseas contact for distribution.



Here are some approved items:

Deodorant Body and foot powder Jelly beans Disposable camera Rice Krispie treats Mints Beef jerky Snack mixes Sunflower seeds Chewing gum Nuts Long-distance phone cards Ziploc bags (for keeping things airtight, watertight, and fresher) Coffee Playing cards Music CDs Toothbrushes & toothpaste Inflatable pillow Dominoes Canned food items Smoked oysters and sardines Pringles chips Microwave popcorn DVD movies
