EXTRA, EXTRA: Us folk who aren’t on the frontline defending this country overseas can now do our part to help the troops know that they are in our hearts and souls. We can make the holidays brighter for America's men and women in uniform by sending a soldier a Thanksgiving or Christmas care package through Treats for Troops, a new online gift shop featuring everything from Thanksgiving treats to stuffed stockings, holiday cookies, candy and gifts and even a decorated Christmas tree with battery powered lights. Since opening this past summer, Treats for Troops’ well-stocked online store have been a source for family, friends and even corporations to send hundreds of packages to soldiers serving everywhere from Iraq, Afghanistan and Bosnia to Germany and Korea. "We have hundreds of men and women from every branch of service and just about every state registered with our Foster-A-Soldier Program," says Deborah Crane, president of the Denver based company that specializes in sending soldiers packages. "The holidays are an especially hard time for soldiers to be away from home." The online store is loaded with holiday gifts, including some packages big enough to treat several soldiers to a happier holiday. A Thanksgiving package or generously stuffed Christmas stocking is just $24.95. Visit the Gift Shop at
