I ordered Desperate Crossing for our NPTT unit at Baghdad.

We generally don’t do a special Thanksgiving mailing. I think because we had troops once that said they wanted the goodies for Christmas. We tide over between 9/11 and Christmas with Halloween mailings which are going out this week as our units get their mail in 7-9 days generally. There are several people lined up to do packages for Christmas, but they won’t be mailing till the week before Thanksgiving.

Last time we had an adopted unit that was over a month out of touch was when the Stryker units were on the move a couple years ago.

I’ll ask the moderator to change the title of this thread to update it, but I’m too ill and tied up with my elderly mother right now to post a completely new one. I’ve given up trying to do that and am going to wait till January for the 2008 one.

I’m going back to check your other post, which was full of many suggestions (many of which we have sent in the past).

Could you update the title of this thread to

Care Packages for our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, 2006-2007

I’m not well enough to post an updated thread and am going to wait till January to do one for 2008.

Thank you SO MUCH! I think the troops will enjoy "Desperate Crossing" - They will be able to relate to the struggles, dangers and fortitude of people who didn't shrink, even after many dangers, persecutions and years, in completing their mission to obtain freedom.
