Hoosiers have the opportunity to send service men and women fighting overseas their thoughts and prayers this holiday season. The fourth annual "Hoosier Cheer for our Heroes" campaign is an initiative started by Lt. Governor Becky Skillman.
"The holidays are a hard time to be away from family," Rep. Tim Neese (R-Elkhart). "The men and women are protecting our country, so now Indiana residents can send a card or letter to show our support."
All cards and letters must be received in the Lt. Governor's office no later than Wednesday, November 18. Mail can be sent to the following address or e-mailed to lg@lg.in.gov.
