Many Americans would like to send care packages or letters to the troops overseas. Unfortunately, the current security and logistical situation makes it difficult to send mail or packages and is highly discouraged.

[Washington, D.C.] – Congressman Brad Sherman announced today that the House of Representatives passed $90,000 for the intergenerational daycare program at ONEgeneration in Van Nuys.
