FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

On Thursday, November 3rd, 2005, between 9 A.M. and 10 A.M., the U.S. Air Force will visit Christmas Depot, a Bayonne manufacturer and retailer of artificial Christmas trees. This is because Christmas Depot has begun implementation of its Trees For Troops program for Christmas 2005. With the cooperation of Air Force Master Sergeant Susan Piasecki, Christmas Depot 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 Christmas Depot'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 Christmas Depot has donated specially-made trees and decorating kits to the U.S. Air Force.

The management and staff of Christmas Depot 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."

Christmas Depot has been in online since 1996, and this year marks its 10th Anniversary of selling Christmas products on the Internet. Many of the employees of Christmas Depot have friends or family currently serving in the military.
