NEVER FORGET
...Here's a chance for you to help do something DIRECTLY for our Hero Soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan for our FREEDOM and future Safety in Time of War.
...The Quatar, Afghanistan Rest & Recooperation Center (R & R) is hosting 3rd Infantry Division, 10th Mountain Division, etc Soldiers from both Iraq and Afghanistan. Many arrive without a stich of civies (Civilian Clothes) in 120 degree weather. They need summer clothes i.e. T-Shirts (simple without political statements) that they can wear off base or around camp, shorts, swimsuits (No thongs or speedos, please) and more shorts. Everything needs to be in good taste so they can go on off base excursions without raising eybrows with the outside folks (Indigenous Personnel).
...The Quatar PX (Commissary Store) is small, sparsely stocked. CARE Packages are welcome with items like:
...Kool Aid, sunblock, BEEF Jerky, music; comics, the usual.
Mail Items to:
ARCENT-QA // ATTN: DOL // R & R Clothing Drive // APO AE Q9898 //
TOPICS: Activism/Chapters; Announcements; Breaking News

I've sent off goodie packages with t-shirts and socks, but I think I'm going to buy some of these needed goodies tomorro when I'm near both a Sam's and a WalMart.
Thanks for the info.
