In April 2006, Mrs. Samme (Bobbie) lost her son, L/Cpl Eric Palmisano, in Iraq.
About a month after his death, she had a package returned to her that she had sent to him, containing non-perishable items.
She and her husband, Herb, decided right then to start a care package project for the troops in Iraq.
Since that date, they have sent over 575 ackages that cost $11.75 each. They do this all through volunteers and their own expense.
