We would like to nominate the organization "SERVE OUR TROOPS". This is a gathering of several businesses in the Twin Cities area who not only support our troops and what they are doing overseas, but also provide one (if not more) meal a year in a family gathering environment. This last year, there were two events. One was shortly before a group of Red Bull members went overseas. Over 3,000 soldiers and their families were treated to a steak dinner with all the trimmings prior to the soldiers "shipping out". The other meal occurred a few months ago. At that one, family members gathered and were able to eat a meal while watching their loved ones also enjoying a meal far, far away. All of this due to generous donations of material, time and services. Family members were also able to communicate with each other via the Skype media, allowing some parents to see their children and vice versa. The troops overseas were actually fed by members of the Twin Cities community who flew over with the steaks and all the trimmings. These were both emotional events that brought together individuals from across the community and around the world. Thanks to them and to all who take Pride in America!
