Help Out Our Troops This Holiday

Sorry for the SPAM.

This morning I got an e-mail FW to me by a friend who is in the Reserves - he's already done a couple of tours in Afghanistan. I'll be sending off some items and thought I'd post up here for anyone else who would like to help these men and women out.

Thanks.

Subject: Care packages needed for deployed military

Hi all:

As the holidays approach, I would like to remind one and all that we still have Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines in harm's way and they still need our help.

I just received a email from one of my former subordinate officers that is deployed that read in part: "The PXs here are wiped out, unless you want feminine hygiene products, ethnic hair products, coolers, or tourist coffee mugs... No essentials like soap..."

If you can support our fine fighting forces, please send a care package containing personal hygiene products (male preferred), and anything else you would like to include that is not restricted (see http://www.bootsonground.com/soldier...cted-items.htm for general details) to any soldier, etc. in care of:

MAJ. ANDREW HOWES
USACE-AES
APO AE 09355

He will ensure that what you send will end up in the hands of those that need them. Please pass this along as appropriate.

Thank you in advance, God Bless and Merry Christmas.

Sincerely,

Greg
