LOL!
Just a note to all that if anyone sends tobacco, please don't mention our Merry Band of Patriots.
We are trying to adhere to the restriction against sending tobacco products in order to keep in good graces with the Army.
And keep in mind that any tobacco sent is at risk for confiscation and a delay or worse for the rest of your care package.
Meanwhile, fellows, thanks for support our troops!
The Playstation2 games and DVD movies that PigRigger and AIC financed via Paypal and eBay are in these boxes, as well as Christmas cards from Coop and ShowMeMom and Tunehead54. I spent all the Walmart shopping card that musicman sent and then some...
We’ve had some other nice contributions and I’ve used some of the money to help make these purchases and to reimburse Nina0113 for shopping she did for me while I was sick. I will be posting credits at end of the year.
