(From left to right)?Andrew Rogers, Sang Dao, Noah Schultz and Brian Phan participated in a holiday card project at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility. These youths wrote the majority of 70 letters that were sent to U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan in time for Christmas. Many of the youths expressed encouragement in their cards, making sure those in the military realize that they know what it’s like not to be able to spend the holidays with their families.
