\"img_2371\"<\/a>More than 200 trees total were shipped from Romagnoli’s Nov. 28 to the Great Lakes Naval Station.<\/p>\n

Last holiday season, more than 18,000 trees were delivered to 65 military bases in the U.S. and\u00a0overseas. This brought the total to more than 176,000 Real Christmas Trees delivered through\u00a0Trees for Troops since 2005.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrees for Troops is a very rewarding program to everyone involved,\u201d said Richard Darling,\u00a0Christmas SPIRIT Foundation chairman. \u201cIt is such an honor to have the opportunity to say\u00a0thank you to our troops, and help ensure military families have the kind of joyful, traditional\u00a0Christmas memories that we would wish for America\u2019s heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"img_2346\"<\/a>Each year, hundreds of military families visit the Trees for Troops website and Facebook page\u00a0to leave heartfelt thank you messages and pictures of their families celebrating around their\u00a0beautifully decorated Christmas tree. For example, a message from a Camp Pendleton family\u00a0read, \u201cThank you for our beautiful Christmas tree! We weren\u2019t sure what we were going to do\u00a0this year\u2026Trees for Troops was an answer to our prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n
