July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.

By Staff Report-

The American Red Cross has announced the launch of www.4troops.com, a program through which the public can quickly, easily and securely order a gift to be sent to a military serviceman or -woman stationed somewhere around the world.

4troops.com makes four gifts available: three types of candy and a special United We Stand T-shirt. The cost of each gift is $25, which includes postage and handling. Gifts can be mailed to particular soldiers or can be delivered to at-large personnel in countries such as Diego Garcia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Kosovo and Bosnia.

While the program is mostly Web-based, the public also may call the toll-free number at 800-565-4651 to place an order. Net proceeds of about $10 for each gift will benefit the Armed Forces Emergency Services programs of the American Red Cross. [[In-content Ad]]
