Holiday FReepmail Messages for our Troops Needed!
self ^ | 11-25-01 | patriciaruth

Posted on 11/25/2001 1:16:02 PM PST by patriciaruth

FReepers! I need emails to send to our troops with the Christmas presents that are being mailed out this week to the 101st AIRBORNE. We have 200 plus presents, but only about a third of them so far have a personal message to go with them to show the troops that we care about them and are grateful for their sacrifices for our country and for putting their lives on the line for our freedom.

PLEASE FReepMail me or send an email to my personal email (below) a Dear Soldier note for the Holidays! Do it today, so I can print them out and put them in the box tomorrow.

AND if anyone could also contribute toward purchasing one or more scarves, or contribute toward the postage, just FReepmail me for my snail mail address or use www.paypal.com and pay by credit card using my personal email address (below).

So far, ABOUT 1/3 of the 200 scarves are bought or pledged, and I would like to put someone else's name, not mine on at least some of the 130 scarves yet to be adopted and given to a serviceman pulling duty on Christmas at an observation post or wherever they may be now that the 101st Airborne has been moved. Guess where? In fact, the news is reporting our troops are landing near Kandahar now.

Contributors so far are:

Audrey --7
Kathy -13
Shirley --8
Deanne --7
Lorraine --2
Lida --2
Kay--9
Sheila --2
Lynette--8
Jacqueline--2
Isabelle--5
Kim--1
Mike--unknown coming

Did you receive the two cards I sent to go with the scarves? BTW, I am assuming that 'Lorraine' up there in that list is me? PayPal has my formal, legal name, but the last person who referred to me as 'Lorraine' was my third grade teacher, I think. LOL!

Thank you again for all that you do for our servicemen and women.

I tried to send a care package to my son who is "in country" and it was returned.

It has to be less than 13 oz. and sent first class!

Oh, BTW, my son thinks he may be home before Christmas. {;o)

I would just like to say that this is one of the most patriotic things that I have seen an American do. Thank God that you are a citizen of our fine nation. God Bless You and the United States of America. We need more Americans like you.
