FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
U.S. Air Force Receives Christmas Trees
Donated By Local Manufacturer
On Thursday, November 3rd, 2005, between 9 A.M. and 10 A.M., the U.S. Air Force will visit Holiday Tree & Trim Co., a Bayonne manufacturer and retailer of artificial Christmas trees. This is because Holiday Tree & Trim Co. has begun implementation of its Trees For Troops program for Christmas 2005. With the cooperation of Air Force Master Sergeant Susan Piasecki, Holiday is sending custom-built Christmas trees, complete with decorations, to American soldiers overseas.
Included in each package are an artificial Christmas tree, American-flag lights, ornaments, and a star for the top bough. The trees have been specially designed for the Trees For Troops program. Each tree is made with pride in Holiday’s Bayonne, New Jersey factory.
The trees are scheduled to be picked up by Master Sergeant David Sprouse, who was also involved in the delivery of the trees for last year’s Trees For Troops program. 2005 marks the 3rd year that Holiday has donated specially-made trees and decorating kits to the U.S. Air Force.
The management and staff of Holiday Tree & Trim are united in their concern for the brave men and women who put their life on the line every day in defense of our nation.
Says production engineer Elcy Wojcik, “We wanted to do something to show our troops how much we appreciate everything they do to keep us safe here at home. It must be hard to have to spend the holidays in a danger zone thousands of miles away from your family, so we wanted the soldiers to know we care about them.”
Company Vice President Deanna Minchello adds, “We thought it would be especially appropriate for the soldiers to know that the tree they receive was made with American pride.”
Holiday Tree & Trim Co. has been in business since 1948, and this year marks its 40th Anniversary in its current location. It is one of the last companies still making artificial Christmas trees in America. Both the factory and retail showroom are located in Bayonne, New Jersey. In 1996, Holiday Tree & Trim Co. began selling products on the World Wide Web, and its full line of Christmas trees can currently be purchased through ChristmasDepot.com. Many of the employees of Holiday Tree & Trim Co have friends or family currently serving in the military.
