GMTA :o) After reading last night of the generosity of FReepers on this project, I was hoping the same thing.
A friend's son is headed for Iraq in December - will be getting an addy from him later on and see if his post is on your list. He is the uncle of the little girl that was killed in the accident I think I told you about.
I had a note from Tel Afar last night after I notified him of what was coming. He was very very happy about the new Cabela's catalog being included. :o) Other items included were:
5 bags of individually wrapped candies -
3 bags of 100 each Double Bubble gum (for the kids) -
plastic Christmas tub -
Christmas tablecloth -
3 bunches of silk poinsettas and holly.
9 paperbacks (spy/action/thrillers) including the Cabelas Christmas catalog

What is a Cabela's catalog?
I'm never afraid to look totally stupid.
