Sixth grade Trotwood students will be sending them letters, poems and other items with Turner to the troops in Kosovo.
The students were given the project as a class assignment and their teacher said they approached the project with great enthusiasm and they are hoping to hear back from the troops in Kosovo.
Turner is no stranger to Kosovo. He has been there several times on diplomatic missions. He was there last summer to see the improvements that were made since the civil war was resolved and the peace accord was put into effect.
Turner will be leaving Wednesday for Kosovo, along with Rep. Dave Hobson and Rep. John Boehner. Hobson is taking the soldiers a sweet taste from home – peanut butter buckeyes.
