Default ATTN Fellow Bombers Fighting Overseas For Us..

i heard something today on the radio that made me think about yall over there and i would like to do something. i do not like giving to larger groups because you never know where your money is going or if it is reaching ya`s over there. so i would like to know if there is anything i can get for ya`s? snacks , magazines , personal items..etc.? if so all i ask is that you let me know where to ship it to..

Count me in also. I agree with Scarecrow, nobody ever knows where the stuff is going and I think this is a great idea.

Post up guys and I know there are some gals.

That is great of you scarecrow. I cant speak for everyone but it is great to get the little things you miss. Baby wipes and visene are great but people have been sending them since this thing kicked off. It was hard for me to get the newest issues of diesel power and easy mac. snack food is always good if you miss chow too. I had a family in AZ that found me on the internet and sent me packages and a lady in PA too. If you get an address you to an fpo or apo you are god to send it probly. It is also a good thing to put it attn. (whoever) or if not availible any marine, sailor, soldier, airman.

Just my 2cents

thanks though it is a GREAT thing to do for somebody

Hey guys, I've noticed that you aren't getting any responses from people overseas yet. My cousin is in the Army Reserves and over in Iraq right now. I can get his mailing address and maybe some items they want if you guys are really interested. Let me know.

P.S. He has a pretty interesting story. He got sent over there for a 6 month deployment and a few months into it, the hummer he was in hit a land mine. He was supposed to be driving, but he let another kid drive for the first time. The driver did not survive the explosion. My cousin was beat up pretty bad and was in the hospital (it was a tent...) for several months recovering. Once he was well enough to leave the hospital, they sent him home for two weeks and told him his hospitalization did not count towards his deployment so he would have to come back to complete it.

Anyways, that's my story... (Well, his,actually) If you are interested in getting his contact info, let me know.

Thanks Scarecrow... Caleb (Steph's cousin) is a great guy... What the did to him about not letting the months he spent in a tent getting better instead of sending him home to heal sucked... He broke some ribs and both ankles and got generaly beat up... But he was happy to go right back to fighting for this country after he got better... And we are proud of him. Thanks guys/gals!
