Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
As the wife of an active duty Marine, I founded Semper Finest in 2010 after years of sending care packages to my husband and his friends during combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. During this time, I received countless notes from relatives and friends saying they wanted to send a package, but didn't know what to put in it, or how to send it properly.

Unfortunately, many of these people inevitably never sent a package, due to their busy schedules and the limited hours of the Post Office. "Not getting around to it" cost the opportunity of making a service member's day by providing crucial morale-boosting supplies.

That's why I started Semper Finest, where customers can send their favorite service members a variety of unique and custom care packages. They can also donate a package to "any soldier", and can even send packages to a "home front warrior" - those spouses and significant others who hold down the fort at home.

I believe in honoring our troops, serving our country, and in letting everyone know that there IS a way they can help - send a package! I am the mother of two girls, a U.Va. graduate, and a proud USMC spouse. I appreciate your vote - Semper Fi!
