 We have numerous members of the Texas National Guard being deployed from our local Armory in December (before Christmas), leaving behind a total of 83 children to spend Christmas without Mom or Dad.  
 Christmas in Action in cooperation with the Texas National Guard Family Support Foundation wants to throw these kids a big Christmas party and the Patriot Guard has been asked to assist in making this Christmas as happy as possible for these kids.  
 And while there are other entities assisting in providing presents for the kids, we still may be a few short, so anyone that feels like bringing a present or two please do so.
