Received a great e-mail from Gordon Brown from Brown's Christmas Tree Farm...they loaded up trees to take to the troops at Ft. Gordon.  Military families could come and pick up their free live Christmas tree.

Buddy,

Thanks for helping me with the Trees for Troops announcement on Sunday.  We had seven from the church including myself, one from work (an Army retired veteran) and the FedEx driver, who was an Army veteran, helping load trees.  All showed up right on time and I had Craig bless the trees with a prayer before loading. We loaded 120 trees in the rain and took only 20 minutes!  A good article was in Wednesday’s Griffin Daily News on the front page and one half of page 7 with pictures. The trees were to be delivered today to the Army at Ft. Gordon in Augusta, GA.  You can check out the website at www.treesfortroops.org.

A BIG THANKS to all the HFBC members who helped:
