OPERATION GRATITUDE (pictures)

[markv840]

"BTW .. ever notice there are never pictures of liberals doing these things for our soldiers??"

Actually, the "unknown" in the picture above is Tony Cárdenas, DEMOCRAT, councilmember for the 6th District; but frankly, since this has gotten such a good local news coverage, I would consider questioninig his motives; of course, it is possible that he does, in fact care about this project; then again, who am I to judge?

Thank you for posting this. We were not aware of this wonderful agency but thanks to you, we were able to make a donation. We now have it book marked and will recommend to family and friends. Thanks again.

I'm in Camarillo and will be there around noon time. I came on line to look for the address. We have some things to donate. By the way, the Reagan Library is accepting donations to send to Walter Reed, and you get free admission thru July 4th.

You're welcome; and thank you for donating, I believe this operation is a one of the greatest ways in which we can say "thank you" to our brave military men and women. It is essential that they [the troops] know that we stand together to support them here in the home front. Aside from money, supplies, or time donated, a great way to contribute is to send letters to the soldiers, since a letter is put in every packet (I think letters are an important part of the contents of these packages).

VetsCoR will be delivering a couple hundred "With Love and Affection" tribute CD's on Memorial Day. Here are some Reviews.

Exelent! thanks for the heads-up!

Question: how are these CD's being distributed to the soldiers? It would be great projects like these could work in conjunction with other charities such as Operation Gratitude. If projects like these work together and organize, tenths of thousands of soldiers could be reached, and even more Americans would be able to show their support :o)

You are more than welcome.

Bump this baby to the top!!

While we're on this topic, I came accross an amazing flash presentation a few days ago; it is a very powerful tribute to our military, past and present. Actually, powerful might be an understatement, I cried when I saw it, it made me feel extremely thankful, and proud of our brave men and women.

Check it out.

VetsCoR has been working with Operation Gratitude for some time now. We've sent Carolyn numerous copies of our slide show, "With Love and Affection". They are free to any active military member and have no advertisements or agendas, other than to say thank you.

You can view a small sample on our main page: VetsCoR. Click on the graphic for more info.

Cardenas' arranged for Pizza for everyone on Sunday. As for motives besides the right thing to do he's running for mayor of Los Angeles. He wants Hahn's job and has a good shot at getting it. The people who were there for the 3 days vote in a higher percentage than others in the city.

Bump!!!

$$$$ sent!!!

[beachn4fun]

Great Job! You guys are great!

[markv840]

"$$$$ sent!!!"

Thank you, that's great!

And thank you all for your support

[A Navy Vet]

Oh great, youse guys get pizzas and all we got on Monday were some donuts (which were much appreciated and NEEDED). If Saturday and Sunday was anything like Monday, there are a lot of tired people out there after this effort. It took 4-5 of us at the end of the assembly line just to load the pallets and get them out to the trucks. Phew!

BTW, I'm an ex-airdale from the Gator Navy. USS New Orleans (LPH-11)

Did you get my Freepmail concerning Carolyn Blashek?

[markv840]

Oh yes, Thank you; I just got to my mail a few minutes ago, and I will e-mail her as soon as I finnish typing this :o)

There were donuts there too on Sunday in the passageway to the kitchen and restrooms. I, however, am on a diet and so I missed out on both.

They sent out over 10,000 packages which something like 425 packages per hour or 8 packages a minute give or take a little. They did a fantastic job.

The Airedale in my address comes from my favorite dog breed. I'm retired Navy but I was a ship driver
