Trees for Troops to Deliver More than 17,000 Trees at 62 Bases in 2012!
Imagine a smiling group of U.S. troops gathered around a Christmas Tree that was grown on an American farm and express shipped to arrive fresh and green somewhere on the other side of the world, just in time for Christmas. Or, imagine the families of deployed troops sharing joyous memories of Christmas through the gift of free, real Christmas Trees. Trees for Troops® makes this vision a reality!
U.S. Base Deliveries
This year, Trees for Troops will deliver more than 17,000 trees in total with a majority of those going to military families stationed at bases across the U.S. The deliveries will take place at 62 bases covering every branch of the armed services. View the complete delivery schedule here to see when Trees for Troops will be at each base.

Many of you have served our nation in the military, or someone in your family, so you know how important this celebration of Christmas is, sometimes with their soldiers and sailors at home, and especially, when they are deployed!
Thank you for what you are doing to bring Christmas cheer to those who serve our nation and all of us!
God bless them!
God bless you!
