Cards from home lift spirits of local servicemen in Saudi Arabia
St John’s Elementary School third graders in Denise LaRock’s religion class wrote cards for three local servicemen in Saudi Arabia. The youths, who drew flags and joked about aliens, hope the notes provide relief from overseas strain and show support for Michael Downs, Lt. Joseph Donovan, and Cpl. Michael Witmer. Cards will be sent this week.
