Local Woman Honored By President For Helping Troops

NOTE: Kristen is a Mt. Lebanon resident

It started as a small project aimed to boost the spirits of local soldiers stationed far away from home – a local woman taking requests and granting them to those fighting overseas.

After 40,000 packages and four years later, Operation Troop Appreciation has received national recognition.

Kristen Holloway, of Pittsburgh, started the nonprofit group in 2004 as a means for soldiers to create a wish list online and have their requests granted.
