Our very own Jennifer Hartshorn is Brown Owl (Troop Leader!) of the Hoboken 2402 Brownie Troop.

Recently the girls met with Veterans from past wars who told them about their expe­ri­ences in the war. The girls then decided to sent an Easter pack­age to the Hoboken born Auriemma twins sta­tioned in Iraq.

The twins were so touched by the pack­age, they sent back the doc­u­ment above and the Stars and Stripes flag flown over Baghdad dur­ing the war as a thank you gesture.

The girls marched in the Memorial Day parade with their flag. A proud moment for all involved.
