Operation Sunblock....Help protect our Troops as they protect us!

Selected independent Mary Kay distributors have teamed up with Soldiers' Angels to get our troops the skin protection they need. Did you know... it is a chargeable offense to suffer from any preventable infection caused by the harmful effects of the sun and be rendered unfit for duty. With the U.S. military conducting combat operations in hot dessert environments such as Iraq and Afghanistan, sunscreen has become an essential part of American soldiers’ kit. In Iraq and Afghanistan, where the sun shines constantly, temperatures can reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Painful sun burns are one of the issues that soldiers must deal with, thus soldiers must use sunscreen daily. The military take this issue very seriously. A donation of $20 will make one Sun Protection care package available. The Tax ID# for Soldiers' Angels (so you can claim the donation) is 20-0583415. The donated sets are being sent directly from participating Independent Mary Kay Consultants to Soldiers' Angels, who will then distribute it to the soldiers. Donations accepted through June 28th.
