We received a request from the young soldiers at Bagram for an accessory to go with the Nintendo Wii.
Their sergeant writes: “Would you believe the only accessory they would like to have is the pistol set for the wii, you would think they had enought guns around here, go figure. Anyway Godbless talk to you later”
Hoping one of our Merry Band can get this for them. Let me confirm you are chosen if you volunteer, in case we get a couple troop supporters who want to purchase it.
Options:
1. Buy from a company that can direct mail to APO
2. Have it sent to you and pack and mail it yourself.
3. Have it sent to me and I’ll pack and mail it.

Note: There is no word yet about our NPTT soldier contact at Baghdad, but a friend of Merry Band and I have checked casualty lists and we are not finding his name. Possibly he had to go home on emergency family leave or is out of touch on a mission. Whatever the cause, please continue prayers for Rafael.
Wow!! I forgot to clue in the gang that you’d sent all this stuff for the Super Bowl.
You are amazing. These boxes are going to blow them away!
See post 253 for contents of the 6 boxes of Superbowl celebration goodies that SENClander sent.
Meanwhile, DON'T SEND any cookies, crackers, candy etc that contain PEANUT BUTTER as there is a recall going on now due to SALMONELLA gastroenteritis contamination.
These recalled products include Austin and Keebler brand peanut butter crackers and King Nut brand peanut butter produced since July 1. The company also sells peanut butter under the name Parnell’s Pride. The growing list of recalled items is available at

I hope Rafael isn't missing because he ate some Reese's peanut butter cups we sent.
