Oregon Assoc. of Nurseries' Christmas Tree Chapter will ship 1,000 Christmas trees and stands to the nation's largest military base. The trees will go to the children of soldiers who are overseas.

The 5- to 6-ft. Douglas firs will be delivered to Fort Hood near Killeen, Texas, on Nov. 29.

"Christmas is a sensitive time when families are apart, and we wanted to make their Christmases a little brighter," said Joe Sharp, owner of Yule Tree Farms in Aurora, Ore.

That's a wonderful thing that they are doing! I can only imagine how rough it is for the families that have spouses and children that are overseas right now.

There are so many Christmas trees raised here , I am glad to see them share some. The sheared Douglas fir is the least desirable for those of us who live here but there are a zillion of them raised and the Douglas Fir is a fast grower. It is our state tree.
