Firearm Freedom Day is looking to make a soldier smile. The group is using “Santas for Soldiers” to do just that. Firearm Freedom Day is asking elementary students in Alcorn County to make Christmas cards for soldiers overseas. American Legion Post 6 and the Ladies Auxiliary are also helping with the project. “We just want them to make a homemade card,” said Bobby McDaniel with Firearm Freedom Day. “There is no need for postage or an envelope.” Project Package is working with the group to get the cards delivered to soldiers.
