Holiday FReepmail Messages for our Troops Needed!

FReepers! I need emails to send to our troops with the Christmas presents that are being mailed out this week to the 101st AIRBORNE. We have 200 plus presents, but only about a third of them so far have a personal message to go with them to show the troops that we care about them and are grateful for their sacrifices for our country and for putting their lives on the line for our freedom.

PLEASE FReepMail me or send an email to my personal email (below) a Dear Soldier note for the Holidays! Do it today, so I can print them out and put them in the box tomorrow.

AND if anyone could also contribute toward purchasing one or more scarves, or contribute toward the postage, just FReepmail me for my snail mail address or use www.paypal.com and pay by credit card using my personal email address (below).

So far, ABOUT 1/3 of the 200 scarves are bought or pledged, and I would like to put someone else's name, not mine on at least some of the 130 scarves yet to be adopted and given to a serviceman pulling duty on Christmas at an observation post or wherever they may be now that the 101st Airborne has been moved. Guess where? In fact, the news is reporting our troops are landing near Kandahar now.

Once there was a hatch...

It went to who knows  where.

Someone spelled it "Y-A-T-C-H"...

Is there a FReeper  there?

Yatch is quite the Friend,

He won't wiggle, he won't bend,

When A BROTHER in distress calls,

He comes running with it ALL......

Yes, it is. It is soon to be breaking big time in Dublin. Also, it was at a NY fundraiser tonight and will be on Wednesday with some very notables in attendance. We can't keep this secret too much longer. :-)
