SAILOR RECRUIT THANKSGIVING CARD PROGRAM
In 2016, Clerk Moran and Outreach Coordinator Lindberg created a collaborative program between the Township and the Palatine American Legion Post 690. The Township’s program is part of Post 690’s incredible Adopt-A-Sailor Thanksgiving Dinner Program.
Each Thanksgiving in working with Post 690, Palatine Township puts together and staffs a photo booth area at the Legion Hall. These photos are then put into beautiful homemade cards (made by a team of crafty Palatine residents, including a Blue Star Mother) and filled with a personal message written by the Recruit and then mailed to their loved one as a keepsake. . The recruits love writing to their family, and the family members receiving these special cards are touched and have a lasting keepsake.
Post 690 provides the recruits with a “Day of Thanks.” The Post Family provides dinner, a day of activities and the ability to call home. While at the Navy Base, they are not allowed phone calls and this portion of the day is extremely important to each and every one of them. The Post seeks to provide the recruits a memory that will stay with them their entire life as well as ease the anxiety of being away from loved ones during the Holiday Season.
For many recruits, it is the first holiday away from family- the first where holiday traditions no longer exist. The military teaches its recruits to grow up quickly and to perform, but it is easy for the individual to be burdened with a sense of loneliness. This event is meant to give them “Thanks” for their dedication to Country and to honor them.
