Fifth Third care packages for troops

Fifth Third Bank employees will be assembling care packages for Chicagoland troops serving in Afghanistan on Veterans Day.

To have a package sent to a local member of the military serving in Afghanistan, send his or her name and address by Thursday to veteransday@53vets.com.

Also, Folds of Honor Scholarships are available for spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to our country. Apply by visiting www.53vets.com.

Fifth Third Bank employees helped raise $100,000 last year for the Folds of Honor Foundation.
