Daybreakcoming -- are you sending one of your Christmas trees to the new unit in Baghdad? I just got a request from them for a 3' tree which I'll send if you're not sending one of yours to them. Let me know. If you are sending them the tree (with lights?) I can send ornaments.
I believe daybreakcoming ordered to 7 ft trees and had them shipped to MJY1288. He's aware they are coming and will mail them wherever we decide prior to Thanksgiving.
So, if you want to get a little tree for the new unit at Baghdad, then daybreakcoming's trees could be sent to Ramadi and Mosul.
I just met the father of a Marine in Iraq. He's checking me out to protect his son. He told me his son got the Halloween candy and my letter with the offer to send movies, etc. (I had given the boxes and postage money to his Mom who works in a local store.) I told his father about having a local donor (my optometrist) who would be happy to send a tree for his son's unit, that we do this every year.
Father is still wary about giving out the FPO and will be checking with a Marine officer about whether we should send it to a Marine to ship to his son.
So, there is still this possibility of doing Christmas for our first Marine unit hanging in the air.
I'll try to touch bases later, but it's getting pretty tight , time wise here.
Hi - I guess Patty has answered your questions except to say the trees are prelit which are a Godsend, aren't they?
My sis will be sending the ornaments for one tree - if you or anyone else would like, you can send ornaments for the other tree. Let me know - it's no problem if you have another area to cover.
