USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Military Valentines Day Project Thread 5 ~ February 12 2003

68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

The original idea about organizing a Canteen project to mail packages
to the military belongs to MoJo2001
What started out with a simple FReep mail to several people quickly became a hit.
My 2 cents was to suggest that we get this project underway
in time to get these packages to the military by Valentines Day.
I think there are many different ways to do this.
Our goal is get get packages and/or cards, letters and e-mails to the military
so thay do not feel alone or forgotten on Valentines Day.
If you have not been to the USO Canteen Post Office recently there are new links and info there.
Info on what to include in Care Packages, snail mail postcards, new e-mail links, phone cards, etc.
Several FReepers have obtained snail mail addresses for active duty military.
Some of you have family and friends serving right now.
As you can tell this project can go in many different directions.
Some of you may want to "team" up with others to send one big package.
Others may want to do this by themselves.
Some may just want to e-mail or snail mail Valentines messages.
What is needed now is to post approved snail mail addresses of military bases and/or individuals.
I propose that each Wed between now and Valentines Day the thread be used to update info and ideas.
So to qoute a great patriot of 9/11 "LETS ROLL" and get this project underway!

I love seeing pics of jets as they break the sound barrier, like this B-1B Lancer from the 127th Bomb Wing. That's just such a cool effect around the wings in this shot.

Well, it took me long enough to get to you....

"When the cable guy came today he announced his dad was Air Force, and he was ready to do unto Saddam."

I hope you got your cable all up and running, even tho FR wasn't much help. God bless all of our Military men and women and I can't wait for "'Saddam Free in '03". Thanks, Phil for your every day support of our guys and gals.

Thank you, AP, once again for the nifty pillow for our Military and their families. G-d bless you good for your continued support. Amazing the pillows you find.

This big bad boy, Celeborn.

He has a NASTY head cold and needed meds to bring his raging fever down and help clear his poor sweet head so he can breathe. He feels a bit better today.
