RALEIGH – As a deployed service member, there may not be many comforts of home, but one thing can help bring some comforts FROM home – mail call!
Petty Officer 1st Class Lilly A. Samson, a waiver clerk assigned to Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) Carolina, felt like maybe she could help sailors deployed overseas, by sending care packages.
Samson, a Powhattan, Virginia, native, contacted the local Navy Operational Support Centers (NOSC) in North Carolina to obtain a list of local sailors currently deployed overseas. She and some of her colleagues then collected items from the local United Service Organizations Inc. (USO), a nonprofit-charitable corporation dedicated to serving American service members and their families.
