Who made the request: smaagee
(His father is Graybeard58).

Who made the request: Requests have come from different places.

DONATIONS FOR CARE PACKAGES

Who: Our Troops

What Is Needed: If you are someone who would prefer to send donations to another trusted FReeper who will do the shopping for you, then this is your lucky day.

Who Do I Contact: patriciaruth!! She is a trusted FReeper who has been receiving donations to help our Troops. She has been doing this for a long time. Brad's Gramma, Kathy In Alaska, MoJo2001, and many other FReepers can vouch for her.
OPERATION CONVOYS

Who: Our Troops (specifically those in the Transportation companies)

What Is Needed: Our Troops keeping the supply lines going are in need of basic necessities, reading material, candy, letters of encouragement, and anything else you can think of. They are sometimes unable to return back to their base of operations due to terrorist attacks or other adventurous Iraqi issues.

Who Do I Contact: Brad's Gramma, Kathy In Alaska, or MoJo2001. We can give you the information to send it specifically to Iraq. (Please put Operation Convoys in the subject line.)

Who made the request: archy. He has been in contact with a Chaplain that has asked for help.

OPERATION EMAIL AND FREEPMAIL

Who: Our Troops

What Is Needed: Our media is beyond pathetic. We need people to email our Troops with words of encouragement or a simple "Thank You" or "We are thinking about you". Very simple, but very effective. If you don't have money to spare, NOT A PROBLEM. This is cheap, free, and easy. We all like that, huh?

Did you see Bush's face after that bike accident?

Looks like he took quite a spill. He finished the 17 mile mountain bike ride anyway, must've been wearing gloves.
