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

Just copied your message so I can print it later with the others. Thanks so much!
Your idea to post it here was great, but a lot of people are too shy to put return addresses or other private information out in the open.

You can send the message to me by private reply (FReepmail) or to my personal email address, in post #3, I think.

I would appreciate your putting as much of your real name, address, and/or email address as you feel comfortable doing so the soldier can reply, or feel you are willing to give some of your privacy to him as he is giving part of his life for you.

But this is not something I would ask people to do in the open on the net, so that is why I asked for private replies to send your messages.

Yes, your cards are tucked in with two scarves in their ziplock bags.
The lady who sewed your two just came by with twenty more, and took the last eight that need to be done. Virginia is a powerhouse, fast and meticulous, too, and this makes 60 scarves she has done!

Too bad I can't print color. It costs $2 a piece for color prints at Office Max here in town, so I only did a few.

Great, glad they arrived in time.

The lady who sewed your two just came by with twenty more, and took the last eight that need to be done. Virginia is a powerhouse, fast and meticulous, too, and this makes 60 scarves she has done!

Wow! What an undertaking. You and and Virginia have my admiration.
