We do have clearance from the Military to send the Stockings and gifts since we have direct contacts. Everything will be shipped in a window from the day after Thanksgiving to Dec. 2nd so everything arrives about the same time with the exception of blank cards or decorations. Nothing comes to us.. We supply addresses only. Can YOU, WILL you help show you care?
