The Knights of Columbus in New Jersey are looking for donations to help send active duty military personnel home for the holidays. It's the Knights' seventh year buying bus, train and plane tickets for service members. In the past six years, they've raised in excess of $200,000 to get 360 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guard members to their families. The program is especially for junior enlisted members with a rank no higher than E3. The program's primary focus is Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and they work with base chaplains to identify recipients.  The average ticket price the Knights purchase is about $500, and anyone wishing to make a donation - no matter how large or small - can contact Lou Peoples at [email protected].
