Here is a BUMP for the best Armed Forces in the World, and the best folks (Go FReepers) too!

Hats Off!
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!
Blue and crimson and white it shines,
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by.
Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great,
Fought to make and to save the State:
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong land's swift increase;
Equal justice, right, and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;
Sign of a nation, great and strong
Toward her people from foreign wrong:
Pride and glory and honor,--all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
And loyal hearts are beating high:
Hats off!
The Flag is passing by!

Great idea, patriciaruth.
I've been offline the last few days, so I missed the thread.
I'll send you a check for silk scarves for the 101st Airborne. FReepmail me an address.
Thanks for the pings. Glad I didn't miss this.

I want to express my deep appreciation to all the participants and to you two especially for rallying the FReepers in support of the troops.
After all the deluge of messages, printing onto holiday paper and stuffing and packing the baggies with the scarves, I'm pretty wiped out, so I'll do a report later tonight and ping all the participants.
The big box went out yesterday. More news later.
To: patriciaruth
No ma'am, THANK YOU for ALL the EFFORT and LOVE that went into that box.
SALUTE

Pinging those who have pledged contributions that have yet to be received.
This list includes some people whose FReeper names I do not know. Perhaps they are lurkers.
Includes a doctor in Texas who pledged 10 scarves, and a reverend in NC who pledged 3.

Pinging special helpers to say thank-you, and interested parties.
To: patriciaruth
Hi, Patricia =^) I put my contribution in the mail yesterday, so you should receive it tomorrow (Saturday), hopefully.
Thanks for everything, and God bless you and, of course, God bless our men and women in uniform.
To: patriciaruth
Thanks for the GOOD WORK :).
To: katiebelle; nonliberal; tiki; RightOnline; Peach; maranatha; Tunehead54; Sabertooth...
pinging those who sent email messages or cards to the troops.
And some I don't know FReepnames to ping them: Lurkers? JL from Texas, Marcia's family in northern CA, a firefighter in MI, and more to sort out....
To: Cool Guy
I'm about to post some information about how it went, but getting the ping list together took all evening....
It was wilder during the night when I was printing the messages and trying to match FReeper names and pledge amounts with their real name that was on the emailed message. Then there were five susans....it was wild. I finally just sent all the Susan messages on one printed page and told the soldier he cornered the market in Susans...
