On this Veterans Day weekend, as we honor the men and women who have served in the military, one group is also remembering those serving right now. Saturday Blue Star Mothers in southwest Michigan held their fifth annual Support the Troops Christmas Open House at Orchards Mall in Benton Harbor. They had guest speakers, military items and photos on display and sold patriotic items, too.
The group also collected donations to make christmas packages to send overseas. They were hoping to send more than 100 boxes -- but donations far exceeded expectations. 'Just the participation and the excitement of the community down here was well beyond our expectations,' said Blue Star Mom Margo Schebel.
Blue Star Moms send care packages to soldiers overseas every three months, but this was their biggest donation drive of the year."
