Way to go Christine
Way to go, Christine! Always supporting the veterans.
It is an honor to work with you, Christine. You do so much for so many. Thank you for all you do.
This is only a brief example of Christine’s service. This selfless and inspirational Blue Star Mother is dedicated to helping our service men and women. She organizes packaging parties to send supplies to our troops, she regularly visits with elderly veterans who have no family and she creates community fundraisers for wounded veterans. Christine is truly an outstanding individual and reminder of how we all should be.
Outstanding contribution Officer Boyd. We can’t ever thank the WW II vets enough for what they contributed to the United States and the world.
I am so proud of you! Keep up the good work, you’re doing an awesome job.
From your favorite cousin
