Uhm, I can write a check.

Our company does Christmas Angels.

The Marines do toys for Tots

What's Free Republic doing for Christmas?

LET'S ROLL

Tell this Trooper to give me his addy, and I will send as much as I can of those things. That, or look me up when he gets back to the World, and I will treat him to a day of indulgence.

Please thank our hero for me.

Major Kusanagi

Is there ANY way we can get some beer to this guy's unit?

Of course, there's the sublime....

...then there's the ridiculous...

Be Seeing You,

Chrsi

All : Can you spare a few moments today to e-mail a service person?
There is also information about sending CARE packages to the military here.

I've been out of the country for awhile, but when did we start selling pint bottles of beer?

And from reading this article I get the strong impression that this e-mail was sent by a Navy Corpsman working with the Marines.
