Corporal Ryan Lenser And Family Recognized Sunday For 'Operation Fan Mail'
posted 12/30/2007
Marine Corporal Ryan Lenser and his family were guests of the Packers and Festival Foods at today's game vs. the Detroit Lions for 'Operation Fan Mail.'
Lenser, a native of Eagle, Wis., currently serves in the United States Marine Corps in the 3rd Battalion, 1st Division, Kilo Company. A member of the weapons platoon, he is a forward observer. Stationed in Camp Pendleton, Calif., Lenser enlisted in 2004 and is a veteran of two deployments to Iraq. During his service he has received two Meritorious Masts, a Good Conduct Medal and a Certificate of Commendation for leadership.
Lesner was joined Sunday by his wife, Jamie, and his parents, Don and Karen Lenser.
New this season, 'Operation Fan Mail' is a program in which the Green Bay Packers and Festival Foods recognize a military family at each home game.
To choose families, the Packers and Festival Foods are asking interested families, or friends of eligible families, to submit an essay, 500 words or less, on why a particular family should be saluted. Essays can be sent to: Operation Fan Mail, P.O. Box 10628, Green Bay, WI, 54307-0628. Essays also can be submitted online.
Families intended for recognition are those that have a member serving on active duty away from home. The family member can be a mother, father, son, daughter or sibling.
In addition to being recognized on-field prior to the game, selected families will receive four tickets to the game, a $100 gift certificate to Festival Foods and a care package from the Packers and Festival Foods.
Another feature of the program invites the public to write letters of the support to the troops. The letters can be dropped off at any Festival Foods location and then will be sent to members of the military on active duty. |
