I just got an APO for Afghanistan, and they're gonna get a copy of We Were Soldiers, too.
Fabulous movie.
Cheers!

Fabulous! What did you get?
What a goof!
.
As Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE kept saying over and over again to his 7th Cav Skytroopers at LZ X-Ray:
"That's just OUTSTANDING"

I'll check with an optometrist I know and see if I can find an alternative.
I know alot of you are involved with other support projects, so I expect you to just ignore this if you can't manage more.
Cheers!

I did a "non-alcoholic" eyeglass cleaner google search with poor results but my wife is checking at Target to see what's on the shelf that might be OK. Also have a call into "Eye Magine" which she uses for an ingredients rundown. I'll let you know.

Tunehead's contribution just bought the request from Bagram, Afghanistan for cookies, chocolate candy and microwave popcorn.
24 2-packs of Chips Ahoy, 24 3-packs of Oreos, 60 candy bars (Reese's peanut butter cups, Hersheys, Kitkats, and Fast Break in 2 prepacked boxes), box of 24 M&M's, and a box with 24 microwave buttered popcorn bags. The chocolate will come melted, the cookies in crumbles, so just lick the paper! LOL! It's 93 degrees here and the postal trucks will probably be over 110 degrees.
I'm putting in 6 paperback books (Without Remorse by Clancy, Last of the Breed by Louis L'Amour, Enchantment by Orson Scott Card, best horror novel ever The Other by Thomas Tryon, and 2 by Nevil Shute--A Town Like Alice and Pied Piper), 6 movies (We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson, Total Recall with Schwarzenegger, Gettysburg, Moscow on the Hudson with Robin Williams, Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen, October Sky and may pick up a couple more before mailing tomorrow--Any Special Movie Requests, Bagram?, 4 Army and women's NRA magazines, and 25 pocket constitutions sent to me by VetsCoR.
DrDeb is sending money that will help cover postage.
Hoping it gets there not long after June 15 to 22. ENJOY! We all love you all out there in paradise!
I presume this means you got the Pocket Constitutions OK??? :)

However, you should think about quitting smoking so you'll survive to vote and support your causes for years to come.
Thanks Neil. :-)
Thanks for the ping!
Printed with pride in Helena, Montana, I suspect.

Hasn't happened yet. Probably the 11th. Gotta get the CEO in the pics.
Woo hoo! There is going to be a lot of excitement!
Cheers, CC :)
I tried taping Ike, an A&E movie about Eisenhower in the weeks before D-Day, and if it's good I'll be sending it, too, and Saving Private Ryan movie, which is close to what actually happened, after Eisenhower made all those decisions and did all the planning.
You still haven't made any movie requests. HELP!
Got to go now and print out some letters to put in the boxes, now that they're just about packed.
I've done the editting so hopefully it's corrected now to people who want to be informed about troop support projects.
