I wanted to thank you again for your immediate, generous efforts and kind words on behalf of the troops. This is a powerful weapon for defense of the homefront - grassroots at it's best.
For those who just arrived, the clothing drive continues until we fill the PX (less than a month - or until our very generous FR host says so, thank you Jim Robinson!). Freepmail me with any questions, or if you would like to help an 'experienced' Freeper defray the costs of putting together and shipping regular care packages.
Shorts are allowed on base, no problem, but long pants are best off base.
R&R resources are limited. Use your best judgement and think like a weary soldier who could use a good laugh, fun - reminders of home - words of support.
Thank you, Freepers!
Newcomers to FR, you can also 'Freepmail' me through my homepage (pro-Coalition news links) by clicking my Freepname and the mail link at the top of my homepage.
