Mrs. McDonough was inspired to start this innovative campaign in loving memory of her late husband, John, an enlisted, decorated Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force who served “In Country” during the Vietnam War. The annual collection is now officially “Dedicated in Memory of John E. McDonough.”

For their service, bravery, and unimaginable sacrifices these noble warriors should be revered, and never forgotten,” says Mrs. McDonough. She is thrilled by the tremendous success of her previous campaigns. “I am looking forward to a banner year, hoping I can spread a little bit of Christmas cheer to our amazing heroes,” she adds.
