USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Military Valentines Day Project Thread 5 ~ February 12 2003
68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

Posted on 02/12/2003 5:18:55 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!

I knew I could count on Valin to have two important dates:
Lincoln's REAL birthday 12 Feb 1809 which kids don't learn any more. I will tell you the day and year of Washington's when due(from memory).
Operation Homecoming 1973 began the return of POWs from VietNam. This was on an Air Force Association calendar.
