Fourth of July is Oh-So Sweet!
The Valentine candy staple Sweethearts is bringing their yummy treats to our troops overseas.
Since May, Sweethearts has been sending care packages to troops expressing their apprecia- tion with new Red, White & You Sweethearts. The cute candies feature phrases like “Proud of U,” “Home Safe” and “Miss You.”
Until September, Sweethearts will continue to partner with the USO and bring a well-needed smile to America’s troops. For more info, visit uso.org.
