Is this a nation-wide program? A radio station in Brevard County on the east coast of Florida was doing something similar. Bud Heddinger (sp?) said Harris Corporation brought a truck load of items all nicely boxed and ready to go. Wonderful to see.
It would be wonderful if this were nationwide. I recently had the experience of seeking insect repellant at our local drug store. They were completely stocked out, which I've never experienced before. The store manager told me it was because so many people were sending it overseas to military personnel. I don't know whether this reflects an organized campaign or just families taking care of their own loved ones, but it was the nicest reason for a stock-out I've ever heard!
