Aurorans in the military, like U.S. Army PFC Tristan Ingram stationed in South Korea, can receive gifts from home this holiday season through the city's annual Gifts from Home program

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 U.S. Army who served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. "Something like this from the City would have inspired me to work even harder."

To register an active member of the military, visit www.aurora-il.org/GiftsFromHome or email the following information to MyAurora@aurora-il.org:

• Active military member's name and rank

• Complete military address

• Branch of service and current station

• Home address in Aurora

• Name, relationship and contact information of person submitting

To ensure timely delivery for the holidays, the deadline to submit information is Friday, Nov. 16.
