From Mass. -
For the last four years the Peace and Justice Committee at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church has been lifting the spirits of U.S. soldiers fighting overseas by sending care packages chock full of a few of the creature comforts the troops have been forced to live without while defending the country.
Ruth Beck, a parishioner at St. Stephen's, located at 3 John St., Westborough, oversees the operation.
"I communicate directly with a U.S. Army chaplain's assistant named Courtney," Beck said. "I send the packages to him and he distributes them to the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq."
Beck said she knows Courtney's last name, but has been asked by the Army not to disclose it publicly for security reasons because Courtney is assigned to a combat team.
