South Coast Today: Family offers holiday in N.H. to two wounded veterans and their families

Two servicemen seriously wounded while serving in Afghanistan can look forward to a dream Christmas vacation in New Hampshire, along with their families, thanks to the generosity of a large New Bedford family who wishes to revive the true spirit of Christmas.

Gerald Carrier and his extended family wanted to do something to support returning veterans and, rather than buying gifts for one another, decided to pool their money to adopt a military family and bring them to Jackson, N.H., for a traditional New England Christmas.
