As the Christmas season approaches, the team here at Big Blue Bug Solutions is gearing up for Operation ROVAC, which stands for Remember Our Veterans At Christmas. It is a project inspired by our own Tony DeJesus. Tony saw that many of our veterans were without family or friends during the holidays and he wanted to do something about it. He wanted our veterans to know how much we appreciate their service during this important season. No one should feel lonely at Christmas, but especially those who have sacrificed so much for others.
How It Works
The idea of Operation ROVAC is to remember our veterans by bringing them donated gifts, with the help of the team here at Big Blue Bug Solutions. The community provides the gifts, and we do the delivering. Gifts can be given by individuals or organizations. In the past, we have had support from schools, civic organizations, and religious groups. The outpouring of support has been inspiring.
