The Junior of LAOH Division 5, Monroe, show their support for the troops

Members of Junior LAOH Division 5, Orange County in Monroe, are shown here with Lucy Mercado, who runs www.supportourheroes.net and does most of this on her own, after shopping for two platoons stationed in Afghanistan. The Juniors spent more than $600 on the supplies, which included donations of $220 and more than $400 of their own fund. Tom Keahon, of AOH Division 1, Monroe, also contributed more than four cases of Dunkiní Donuts coffee that will shipped overseas with the rest of the supplies. Pictured, beginning in the front row from left, are: Margaret and Maeve Ryan, Grace Edmonds, Jenna and Lauren Walsh, Katie Anderson (president of Juniors), Ciara Walsh and Fiona Debold; and second row: Gail Edmonds, Junior coordinator, Lucy Mercado support our troops.com, and Tom Keahon, AOH Division 1.
