What's in the "Egg" box? When troops overseas receive this curious package, they're in for a much greater treat when they crack it open."I was in Bagram, Afghanistan, and I got a package one day from somebody I didn't know," said Bill Lintner of Sicklerville, New Jersey. "And it was an egg box."
Lintner soon discovered the box was sent from a South Jersey nonprofit, Operation Yellow Ribbon, which is designed to boost the morale of troops serving overseas. "We call it a 'Hug in a box,'" said Operation Yellow Ribbon President Dave Silver. "It's coming from total strangers from South Jersey and the challenge is on to fill four school buses full of care packages for our brave troops."
All together, the community raised more than $30,000 for Operation Yellow Ribbon to continue its mission., whose owner, December Giberson-Shiver, has a personal connection to the military.
