    Snowball Express

    November 24, 2009

    In the spirit of being a part of the online military community, this blog will spread the word about other military family inspired programs and initiatives.

    image

    Snowball Express started in early 2006 with a simple idea: Provide hope and new memories to the children of military fallen heroes who have died while on active duty since 9/11. America should honor and pay tribute to the children of those military fallen heroes who have died while honorably serving since 9/11. In December of 2006, nearly 900 family members from all across America and the world gathered in Southern California for an unforgettable holiday gathering. Kids and widows discovered they weren’t alone. And they found they weren’t forgotten.

    It was a totally volunteer effort which came together in just a few months to create the largest all-expense-paid gathering for the families of our fallen warriors since 9/11.

    Snowball Express is gearing up for their 4th annual event, which will be held right here in Dallas, TX. The excitement begins December 9th. There are all sorts of fun activities planned for the 1395 children and families through their departures on the 13th. A parade will be held in downtown Dallas on Friday, 11 December at 1000. The best view for the parade will be at City Hall and down to the Long Horn Steer statues.

    Get more information about volunteering, sponsoring, donating or applying on their website (www.snowballexpress.org).
