USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Military Valentines Day Project Thread 2 ~ January 22 2003

68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

[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!

I'm watching him as best as I can. But there are so many voices that it's tough to keep them all corraled. LOL!

[bkwells]

That would be 4 years per service stripe.... wow... I bet that is heavy.... I only have 4 on my sleeve :)

Sorry I missed posting yesterday, but it was rather busy out here. Today will be no exception either. Plus will the time zone difference, your day is part of my night, so I miss most of the action....

[HiJinx]

Good to see you drop in, Chief.
Drills are good, right?

[Bethbg79]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi Brian!! Thanks for the explanation. Congratulations on your 16 years. Not only did your Mom and sister visit, but we got to meet your wife. Is it coming up on 0500, or thereabouts where you are, or do I have the time wrong. Don't forget, we are lots of different time zones. It is 1515 where I am. What kind of Girl Scout cookies do you want? This is your chance to choose. Otherwise you get pot luck.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Big guns!! Yes! Missles, yes! Thanks, aomagrat, for today's history of the USS Topeka. 5 battle stars in her career.

[bkwells]

Drills are good, right?

So far so good.... A few rough spots here and there, but it's good to smooth them out now before the real deal! Like they say, train like you fight, fight like you train!

Beth's mom, SG, I'm worried about.
