“It’s like Christmas with every box,” said Brenda Cyr, left, as she and Kellie White, both of Auburn, make care packages at the American Legion Post 153 in New Auburn on Monday to send to the Army Reserve 619th Transportation Company. Both of their husbands are currently deployed with the unit to Iraq and are not expected to return until next June. The two said it’s important to send items to the soldiers because it lets them know they have support back home. Anyone wishing to donate items for the next shipment going out in late January or early February may drop it off at the Legion hall.
