LAKEWOOD, WA - Enlisted service members will be able to pick up a free Christmas tree at Joint Base Lewis-McChord on Saturday morning, courtesy of the "Trees for Troops" program.
About 700 trees will be delivered to the base on Friday, which were donated by tree growers from all over the U.S. The trees are available to any E-1 through E-5 service member on Saturday morning at the North American Lake Conference Center.
