City of Aurora issued the following announcement on Oct. 22.
The City of Aurora's annual Gifts from Home program offers our hardworking active members of the military a reminder from their hometown during the holidays.
Gifts from Home thanks Aurora residents who are actively serving in the military - at home or abroad - with a gift box that includes mixed nuts, Aurora memorabilia and a card during the holiday season.
"As a young soldier, receiving mail from home was heartwarming," said Mayor Richard C. Irvin, a veteran of the US Army who served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. "Something like this from the City would have inspired me to work even harder."
