PLYMOUTH — There is no doubt about the passion Plymouth’s Jan Houin has for the Operation Quiet Comfort project.
And the public is invited first-hand as Houin jumps out of an airplane for the cause Sunday.
Houin began volunteering with Operation Quiet Comfort in early 2007.
Operation Quiet Comfort was formed in July 2004 with the express mission of honoring and comforting injured servicemen and women.
Soldiers are given things like “Go Bags” that contain a CD player, CDs, puzzle books, reading materials and cards and letters from across the United States.
