SUPPORT BUMP FOR OUR TROOPS DEPLOYING OUT OF FT HOOD!

KK, you will rec our letters/cards via snail mail. Yesterdays news of more than 10,000 army men and women in one deployment makes your project a Texas sized one. Thank you for this opportunity!

I hope you have been keeping up on the Canteen
and seeing the results of you finding the link to e-mail the ships.
Know that YOU have made a big difference in the morale of our troops.
Thank You!

Thank you very much for taking the time to write, it means so much to the troops. Unfortunately, we are only able to support 2 battalions. One is gone and one is in the process of (should we say) packing as we speak. Hopefully we will start sending carepackages out in the next 2 weeks.

However on Fort Hood we have around 700 FRG's (family readiness groups) believe it or not. Our group is just a few wives that want to do something for whomever we can. We may be rotating carepackages about every other month to these battalions/companies, or may even go by company or platoon every other week until they all have received something, then start all over and do it again and again while they are gone. This is going to keep us busy we know. We are aiming to be able to include letters from proud americans in every carepackage we will be trying to get out.

Another project we are rushing to put together right now as well, is out of all of these letters we are trying to make copies upon copies of them so we can have them read by more than just one soldier, and going down to ACS & the lane volunteer center here on post to distribute these copies so other FRG's can distribute them to the soldiers they are taking care of.. If we ever find ourselves inundated by to many letters (wouldn't that be great?) We would also distribute them to as many FRG's as humanly possible.

So, to anyone that wrote in, or wrote a soldier thru ANY other "write a soldier" program...

Thank You

Thank You

Thank You
