Patti, You tell me what you need and I will help, I can send a check or give me a list of items to go and get and it will be in your mail box ASAP.

I have started a yellow ribbon campaign at my shop, I bought several rolls of yellow ribbon last week and half of it is gone already.

Now that action is near, I wonder if sending pictures of "Support our Troops" rally's might be a comforting gesture for our best and brightest?

I have started a yellow ribbon campaign at my shop,

Oh! Good idea! I'll add a yellow ribbon to our flagpole!

Yeah a list would be just fine and since I have never done a care package, where do I send it and to whom?? My 12yr old and I would love to send an appreciation package!

It will take at least 3 weeks to receive the box or a letter, so I am preparing the Easter care package box now. Pictures of the rallies for the troops wouldn't get over there until Iraq is hopefully all over, although you never know about that and I'm sure they'd be happy to see them anyway.

I sent the Valentine care packages in January. And the Christmas ones went out in November; they just made it on Dec.24th and one of the sergeants remarked, "Santa Claus is coming tonight!"

So far the box for Easter contains, Videos: The Rookie, Enemy at the Gate, Windtalkers, Hamlet (Mel Gibson), Romeo and Juliet (Zeffirelli), The 6th Day (Schwarzenegger), Predator (Schwarzenegger), 13th Warrior (Banderas), The Bone Collector (Denzel Washington), Casablanca, Return to Me (David Duchovy), Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood), Life of Jesus. Book: Nor Crystal Tears (Alan Dean Foster) Music tape: Last of the Mohicans soundtrack.
