Research for Project 3

For Project 3 a group of us in the class will be creating flat packed holiday decorations to send off to troops overseas. The project aims to serve as a reminder to individuals in the community that while it may not seem like we are at war, there are still troops serving overseas, and putting there lives at risk.

I like this project because it does not force you to accept the reasons that our troops are there, merely to recognize the sacrifice they are making. As well as encourage the individual to remember that the holidays are about thankfulness, not solely a time for presents under the tree. 

We are identifying and choosing the troops through a site call Any Soldier that allows one member from each platoon to set up an account and post requests.
