Just to let y'all know what I've done so I don't duplicate anyone else's packages.
Today I mailed to the new training unit in Baghdad:
6 tinsel garlands
tree ornaments (garlands, balls, bells, snowflakes, etc.)
ornament hangers
3 CD's of Christmas music
assorted cards the troops can use to send to family and friends
I got an emailfrom Bagram this morning - here are partial contents:
I received about 11 boxes in total from the "band". The soldiers were SOOO excited while I was opening the boxes and pulling out all of the costumes. We had a BUNCH of fun with it! We also wore them on Halloween and had a small Halloween party this past weekend. Thank you so much for sending everything. We decorated that offices and some of our rooms and had a total blast dressing up with all the costumes. It really meant a lot to our soldiers morale.
I hope to be able to get some of the pictures of the troops off to you soon.
OK thanks. Hope to get the decor for my trees this w/e and sent off if not sooner. Time is coming down on me. :o)
pinging you to the current thread of the Merry Band of Patriots.
