Let's Support Our Service Men and Women

We the Village of Berlin Heights would like to post pictures and addresses of our men and women serving in the military.

We are hoping to generate lots of letters and postcards of encouragement to let them know we are behind them 100% and
are praying for their safe return home to their love ones.

If you have or know of anyone, please call Sandy Willgrube at 419-588-0021, she will let you know how to
get the information to us so it can be posted here.

Thank you so much for all of your support.
