Hi everyone! Patriciaruth had asked me to post this photo--it is from the troops over in Kosovo-I will let her tell more about what she has heard, (and what they are doing in this photo! LOL) but it sounds like they are very appreciative of our support from Project Kosovo. Thanks to all involved, and thanks to mountaingirl for hosting this photo!
I didn't get to the Dose till late because I was finally turning my tax information into the CPA (final deadline is October 15) and then I bought enough Hallowe'en candy for about 4000 troops to have a piece. I also got another ten videos to send them.
They are receiving the care packages we are sending, and that makes me happy as I know many of them are going to be transferred (if they haven't been already) to the Afghan front and U.N. troops will take the place of our U.S. troops in Kosovo.
The Chaplain sent a special request for videos, and we have got about fifty in the pipeline now. When the first wave of twelve arrived he said some of them had already watched some of them two or three times before he emailed me the word of their arrival plus some pictures. They also really loved the Snickers and the playing cards.
Anyone who wishes to contribute toward the postage to send the videos and candy to our troops, please FReepmail me. If you want to send videos, please check the list to make sure you aren't duplicating, and if you are we'll try to find another camp to send it to.
Finally, I would appreciate anyone who would add to my Hallowe'en candy airlift, as I came short of the 5000 plus who are serving in the FRY. Anyone who will first class mail 100 pieces of Hallowe'en candy (cost will be about $15-25, depending on what you get, how heavy it is and where you live), let me know and I'll give you the address. If ten more people will do this, then we can make sure every service member in the FRY is remembered.
Cheers!
Patty
