Holiday Cards Headed Overseas to Canadian Soldiers
As the holiday season approaches, these young athletes took time to think about the men and women who won’t be doing the same. Armed with markers, blank cards, and a genuine desire to make a difference, the team wrote heartfelt holiday greetings to be shipped overseas to Canadian soldiers. Some messages were funny, some were thoughtful, and others were surprisingly wise for their age, but every single one carried the same core message: We see you. We appreciate you. Thank you. The boys recognize what many adults sometimes forget: while we enjoy the privileges and freedoms of daily life, freedoms protected by those serving around the world, there are families spending the holidays apart. The team wanted to remind them that they’re not forgotten.
