NFL Draft
___________
Okay Canteeners!!
Here's your chance to let us know who you think will be drafted first. How about your first round draft picks?
Why would you choose those players?
Let us know on the threads and we'll see who is right next week.
Good luck and have fun!! Sources: Clarett ruling expected before draft An U.S. Supreme Court Justice is expected to rule before the draft on whether the stay issued by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals should be lifted.
Clayton: The blueprint Heavy emphasis is placed on free agency, but winning teams are generally built through the draft. Pasquarelli: Rich get richer With Corey Dillon added to the backfield, the Patriots will use the upcoming draft to add depth on both sides of the ball. Clayton: Easier said than done There's always plenty of draft trade speculation, but usually very little movement in switching selections. More Features |

FReeper Canteen Support The Troops
If you would like to help our wounded military personnel in Iraq, please click this link to read from yesterday's thread.
For more detailed information on how you can help, please FReepmail MoJo2001. Thank you.
If you have ever noticed there are many links provided below the daily threads in the COMMENTS BOX. These links are provided daily as a service to lurkers, Canteeners, military personnel, and their families. We encourage everyone to click on the links. You never know what you can find out there.
The difference between doing something and not is no longer an excuse. If you don't have the money, that's okay. There are many military members that would just appreciate an email or a letter encouraging them. It isn't rocket science. It just takes you and a little bit of your time. How expensive is that? Nada.
The rewards are priceless. The effect on that military member could be more than you can ever imagine. So? Don't procrastinate. Get out there and make a difference for one of our Troops. |

An Opportunity to Help Our Wounded Servicemen and Women
Freepers, I have been sent an email from someone stationed in Iraq regarding an urgent need by our wounded servicemen/women. For security reasons, the whole email can NOT be posted here. Read on, please.
Today I went to visit the military hospital here in the Green Zone. Yesterday my boss (a Marine) had gone to visit some of the Marines brought here from the Fallujah fighting. When he asked one of the wounded Marines if there was anything he could get for him, the Marine requested a razor so he could shave and be within standards again before he was discharged from the hospital. My boss also found that the hospital basically was lacking phones for the patients to be able to call home and talk with their loved ones. I think they only had one that the chaplain carried with him and let the patients use when visiting them. We were able to scrounge up a few razors and got a couple of our cell phones signed over to the ward. I took the items back today along with some candy folks gave me and spent some time talking with the patients.
Afterwards, I talked with the ward personnel and they gave me a list of items they can always use. Our hospital is the largest surgical hospital here in Iraq so most of the patients are evac'd here for their initial care until they can be stabilized and evac'd to Germany or returned to duty (although it is not a big hospital-more like a clinic sized unit).
Of course most of the wounded come in with only what they were wearing in most cases. As such, they don't have things like toothbrushes, etc. A lot of you are always asking if there is anything you can send me. There really isn't anything I need, but these folks could use some things for the wounded. It really is humbling when you think about these young men and women who have been wounded, some of them terribly, and they are really excited about getting a razor or some chocolate candy. So, following is the list of things the ward personnel said they could really use for their patients.
On the hygiene items (toothpaste, shampoo, etc.), they are interested in the travel size products because the wounded are normally only here for a short period of time before they are transferred out to bigger hospitals that have better supplies of these items, or back to their units where they have access to their stuff. If you would like to donate any of these things (or start a drive for these things) just mail them to me. My office will sort the items and make sure they get to the hospital. If you would like to send food items, we'll need individually wrapped or single serving items. And, chocolate is okay if it's mailed soon before it gets too hot (but to tell the truth, we've been known to lick it off the wrapper when we want it bad enough!).
Razors
Shaving Cream
Toothbrushes
Toothpaste
Dental Floss
Mouthwash
Soap
Shampoo
Feminine Hygiene Products
Underclothes (male and female)-okay this may sound like a strange item, but remember they normally only come in with the stuff they are wearing and normally those are ruined
Slippers/FlipFlop type of things (in large sizes-apparently the things on the local economy are pretty small)
Hospital PJs
Candy
Crackers
Snack Items
Anything else you can think of
Additionally, we like to go out and give our young Marines pulling post duty candy/cookies, so we can always use that type of stuff. We had a great time delivering our Easter candy stash Sunday and we left a lot of Marines grinning from ear to ear.
* * * * * * *
MoJo20001's husband's division is going to be collecting the items and sending them via transport to the hospital in Iraq. IF you feel so inclined, and the need IS urgent...please let one of us know.
We also are coming across names...MANY MANY names of servicemen who need care packages, a letter, sometimes depending upon the branch of service, an email. If you can commit to being faithful with the correspondence, PLEASE let us know about that, too. MoJo2001............................. Kathy in Alaska........................... Brad's Gramma

Check this out!
Hanoi Kerry at his "moment of glory."
What a piece of ******
The media WILL NOT mention this book.
I will!
The cover is a insult to Iwo Jima vets,
then it gets worse towards Viet Nam vets.
I was there the same time Hanoi Kerry was.
I served on a Destroyer which supplied PBR's
and gave gunfire support in North AND South Viet Nam.
My ship may have even supplied Hanoi Kerry's boat.
I VOW I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to keep this traitor from being elected.
I owe it to those who gave their all.
