OK, this is the last resort. I've put this off til the last minute, cause I was sure we'd have more people stepping up by now.
Now I'm asking for help.
TankerBabe and I are trying to get some winter gear to a unit in Afghanistan.
We just need a little help.
Do what you can, spread the word.

This is an ongoing operation until we get the entire 173rd dressed for the winter.
You and I and Tankerbabe need to talk about these blankets.
FreepMail #2 on the way.

Let me know how my classroom can help. Every year we have a special project to help a unit in Iraq or Afghanistan.

[concretebob]

Ya wanna do a sock drive?
Gloves, maybe?

[concretebob]

You can call me during that meeting if you’d like.

[mware]

Sock Drive sounds great. Any particular kind of socks???

Got an email from USCav, they are out of the green polyprop underwear, wanted to know if they could substitute the black. Told them I did not see a problem.

Mrs. NCC had a hissy fit last night, can't understand why the gummint can't supply the troops.

Like I said in my e-mail to an outside ping list, fight it later with the bureaucrats, react now to support our Warriors.

What is it exactly that you need? I have my hands full with both boys deployed but can always chip in a little $$

[North Coast Conservative]

With two sons in theater, you let us know what you need, or what your soldiers need.

As a double Blue Star Mother we are at your service.

OK USCav is sold out of everything we need so for future donations go to BassProShops
They should have some of what we need.
We'll break them, too.

RE-PING your list with this info please.

As for gloves, I was thinking along the lines of the brown cotton jersy gloves, nothing fancy, but still warm.
available almost anywhere.

Pingaling.

oops, kinda missed that!

[3D-JOY]

Well said!

Fight about it later.

I too wonder why they are not well supplied, but if concretebob says it is needed, pitch in to help!

[concretebob]

Trust me. If I thought that jumping up and down in front of the Capitol Building would get this done, I'd be there with bells on, just to get noticed.

Damn politicians use our troops as pawns in a game of gotcha, and I'm sick of it.
FUND THE TROOPS you bunch of hypocrites.

Stop worrying about your districts and start worrying about Western Civilization for two minutes and FUND THE TROOPS!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm better now...got that off my chest.

Glad I gave you the opportunity to say it for both of us!

I'm a little late in getting this up, but it's been a rough 5 days.
I just thought ya'll should know what and who generated this massive appeal for help.

[3D-JOY]

Thanks so very much.

How I wish I could have done more!
