Appleton – Natalie Ross told us she’s not crying about her father serving overseas because she’s “really happy” and she “wants him to help people.”

Natlie’s father is serving in Afghanistan.  He was home on leave, but left again on Sunday.

Natlie and some her friends at Apple Tree Connections Day Care Center in Appleton are making cards as part of the Holiday Mail for Heroes program.  Through December 9th, The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes, Inc. will collect holiday cards from local school, businesses and events to send to troops overseas.
