We're winding down, and most care packages have now been mailed for Christmas although a few major things are about to go out. See posts below for details on recent shipments.
Anyone who has wanted to contribute, but is a bit short prior to Christmas, can still join in helping send Christmas cheer to our soldiers, airmen and Marines in harm's way by
1. charging a donation through Paypal
2. pledging to send a certain amount by the end of January
3. buying a WalMart shopping card with a credit card and sending that.
FReepmail patriciaruth for details.
