Please give us more details on your retailer and what was in the 2000 care packages and where they went. Pretty please?

Sure! The retailer was Wal-Mart, we started out with a goal of 2000 boxes and ended up with 2200. They contained phone cards, socks, cameras, jerky, hard candies, letters, cards, and at least one embroidered pillow made by the associates at the Pima Wal-Mart Store in Scottsdale, Arizona. I know I'm forgetting something, but it's not coming to me right now.

They went to men and women of all armed services in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. The recipients were folks who have visited our web site and asked for support.

Let me see if I can't find a couple of pictures to post; or a link to the Pentagon Channel newscast featuring the event...
