Phase I

As we all know our country is now and forever changing,
to provide for the defense and security of its people.  We the
greatest nation on earth and that is because of the commitment and
sacrifices that has been made and will be made by those of our Armed Forces.

As those that benefit from these peacekeepers, we can now be part
of an effort to show our pride and support for their efforts and work.

A member of Denton Chapter #259 started this effort last year to
host and support a unit that was stationed in Afghanistan.  For the 6 months
that this unit was deployed,  the Chapter sent
numerous care packages and letters of support. 

Now this unit is being deployed again and the Denton Chapter is gearing up to doing
it again.  This time the unit asked if there were other Chapters that would be
interested in adopting a unit as Denton has. Thus,
Operation Eastern Star was created to match Chapters with our Armed
Forces Units.  Frequent updates of the operation will be posted
to the website. 
 

Phase II

                 It has become harder for us to deliver care packages direct to the troops
because of security and safety issues, so we will continue to support our
service men and women in the following manner.

               1. Those units that are still accepting packages from individual Chapters will
continue to support those units.

                2. For those Chapters or individuals that want to continue or participate in this operation we have made contact with several military units in the Texas area and
will send our packages through them.  Please click here for information.
