I received the following email:
I wrote back to Colleen suggesting that she contact her local VFW, Marine Corps League, American Legion, and Vietnam Veterans of America. I've also posted her message on American Veterans
I have corresponded with Colleen, so I know this to be valid.
I AM HOPING YOU AND YOUR READERS CAN HELP ME WITH A PROBLEM, I HAVE A NEIGHBOR, A MARINE, WHO DID TWO TOURS IN NAM, HE IS VERY POOR HEALTH AND PROBABLY WON'T LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER CHRISTMAS, HE LIVES IN A 3 ROOM HOUSE HE BUILT HIS SELF, HE HAS NO LIVING FAMILY, FEW FRIENDS, EVERY CHRISTMAS I TAKE HIM A BASKET OF GOODIES, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT IS CHRISTMAS CARDS FROM ALL OVER, FROM OTHER VETS, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HAPPY THIS WOULD MAKE HIS CHRISTMAS. HE LIVES WITH HIS CAT, AND IN ON OXYGEN AS HE HAS EMPHYSEMA AND IS BASICALLY HOUSEBOUND. PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP ME, HIS NAME IS RICHARD WORKMAN, AND YOU CAN SEND CARDS TO HIM C/O COLLEEN CASTILLO, 3372 S KNOX, ODESSA,TX 79763
THANKS
--- COLLEEN CASTILLO

How many posts are allowed before you start a second thread? a.k.a. Shenandoah(home computer) It is no longer necessary to start new threads when you get a lot of posts. That needed to be done only before the site was upgraded. Some techno person could explain the details.
Bump away!! The more posts the better and no new thread needed. Merry Christmas to all Vets and to all Americans too !!
We don't need need no stinkin' new thread !!

This will be the FIRST card to be sent out. I typically get mine out all by the end of November.

Ours will be on the way this weekend!! Might I also suggest that we all try to do something for our "local" vets this Holiday season. After all, if it weren't for our vets there's a very good possibility that we wouldn't be getting to celebrate the birth of Christ. Think about it.
bumpity-bumpity-bump for all my FReeper friends.
