Care Packages for our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, 2005
Movies going include
1. 9/11 - The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition
Real footage from 9/11 of NYFD firemen in the WTC before its collapse and combing the Pile afterward. Shot by a French filmmaker Gédéon Naudet, who had been making a documentary about the firemen when the attacks came.
2. D.C. 9/11: Time of Crisis (Showtime movie with Timothy Bottoms as President Bush) about the first 10 days from the viewpoint of the White House. Actors are mostly caricatures of the real figures, but the facts and time line are pretty accurate. Real footage is interspersed.
Count me and a friend of mine in for 6 ea...I'll be snail mailing em to ya :)
THANKS, Ros! You're one of the all time champions!
AH, BUT YOU ARE THE QUEEN!!! 8-) God Bless you for all your hard work for our troops!!!
Any suggestions as to where to get the movies?
Amazon Market Place for like new can be cheaper than most. Add 2.50 for shipping to compare, and stick with sellers with at least 4.8 star rating.
Find a DVD movie at Amazon.com and if their new listed price seems too high, check the "new and used" listings linked on the same page for Market Place sales.
If you buy over $25 worth of Amazon movies/books, and check "Super SAVER" shipping, there is no charge for postage or for sales tax if you don't live in Washington. (This does not apply to the Market Place purchases)
You can compare this to Walmart prices or used DVD sales at your local video store, keeping in mind sales tax in your price comparison.
Support Our Troops BUMP!!

Richmond ping for Patty. Just in case any of you want to participate.
Patty really is wonderful for all she does. I know the troops appreciate all the care packages they receive because of her efforts.
Patty- I'll snail mail you some letters. Can you FRmail me with your address? Thanks!
Patty, I have my six cards ready. Do I address them or just send them to you for sending with a package?
You have FReepmail!
Thank you for your continuing support!
The soldiers get a real morale boost from seeing letters and cards from the general civilian population.
You have FReepmail!
The troops at Bagram, Afghanistan, really appreciate the care package with the personal care items you sent last month!
