An Overland Park marine serving in Iraq will receive a special care package from the more than 160 people who live at Tallgrass Creek.

The marine is Chris Casalou, who worked at Tallgrass Creek as a security officer from October 2007 to July 2008, when he was called up to serve. When Casalou returns from his deployment, his job at Tallgrass Creek will be waiting for him.

"It is important to remember those who serve our country, and we hope that this gesture will remind Chris that we are thinking of him every day while he is away," says John Harned, executive director of Tallgrass Creek.
