Would you please post the address to send money?? I have another one going over in a couple of weeks...he is to the point in his training that all is mum, so the next time we hear from him, he'll probably be over there.
The donations for the Merry Band of Patriots are generally sent to be by snail mail or by Paypal.
They are not tax deductible as we are not an organized charity, although we are definitely non profit, with 150% or more of donations going to the troops in purchased goods and postage expenses. Accounting is posted on our thread here at FR every 3-4 months.
I don't post my address on the web. Anyone wanting to send me a donation to spend on goodies for the troops can contact me for the address.
If anyone wants to send money to a tax deductible troop support charity, I recommend Operation First Response, which is now trying to do matching funds to keep a large donation that is contingent on matching funds.
Contact me for the internet link if you are interested.
Good luck to your soldiers. If you post his first name and location on our thread, we will add him to our prayer list.
