USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Military Valentines Day Project ~ January 15 2003
68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen
Posted on 01/15/2003 5:23:37 AM PST by 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub
The original idea about organizing a Canteen project to mail packages
to the military belongs to MoJo2001
What started out with a simple FReep mail to several people quickly became a hit.
My 2 cents was to suggest that we get this project underway
in time to get these packages to the military by Valentines Day.
I think there are many different ways to do this.
Our goal is get get packages and/or cards, letters and e-mails to the military
so thay do not feel alone or forgotten on Valentines Day.
If you have not been to the USO Canteen Post Office recently there are new links and info there.
Info on what to include in Care Packages, snail mail postcards, new e-mail links, phone cards, etc.
Several FReepers have obtained snail mail addresses for active duty military.
Some of you have family and friends serving right now.
As you can tell this project can go in many different directions.
Some of you may want to "team" up with others to send one big package.
Others may want to do this by themselves.
Some may just want to e-mail or snail mail Valentines messages.
What is needed now is to post approved snail mail addresses of military bases and/or individuals.
I propose that each Wed between now and Valentines Day the thread be used to update info and ideas.
So to qoute a great patriot of 9/11 "LETS ROLL" and get this project underway!

One puzzling thing though, yesterday all the email I sent last week to all the ships was returned marked as undeliverable?? This has happened before now also. Seems strange to me, has this happended for you??I had same thing happen. I looked at the 'To:' field, and experimented with removing an extra space between the nickname and the actual email address. The email then got sent without error. Try that.
