FORT DEVENS (CBS) — Operation Service is giving away Christmas trees to say thank you to active duty military and veterans. Volunteers gave out more than 100 trees at Fort Devens Friday.
“These guys are our heroes. They are the true volunteers in our eyes,” said Joe Firmani, one of the founders of Operation Service.
Firmani said the program started nine years ago with only 20 trees, but will give away over 600 this year to veterans, soldiers and their families.
