Penny building at 405 North Bullard Street in downtown Silver City. Kris’s shop recently reopened from another location on Bullard Street and has been fully decorated for holiday shoppers.

The New Mexico Department of Veteran’s Services is requesting members of the public to participate in “Operation Holiday Cheer”, a way to being season’s greetings to residents and staff of the New Mexico State Veterans Home in Truth of Consequences. Operation Holiday Cheer asks people throughout the state to send holiday cards to the home. Many residents have little contact with family—or no family at all. Many staff members work through the holidays, as the home provides year-round, round-the-clock care for residents. The cards need only be addressed with “Dear Veteran” or “Dear Hero,” and contain a short message of appreciation for the veteran’s military service. Cards to staff members can be addressed with, “Dear Frontline Hero”, or other terms of endearment, along with a brief message of appreciation for providing care for the home’s residents.
