OT: mail for US forces

Whistle
1

I thought this might be of interest, and something worthwhile of the board’s US members’ time…not only during the holiday season, but in the days/months following. The information was sent to me a few moments ago, and apparently these addresses were found at the “JESSICA LYNCH FAN CLUB” group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/americasdaughter

I am not affiliated with the group, so I have no further information, but it seems to be an honest effort. :slight_smile: These are members of the United States armed forces who are not receiving much mail from “back home”, and it would be nice to be able to brighten their days! This is not intended to start any political threads, merely to pass on info to any interested parties.

the one that lost SIXTEEN soldiers in the Chinook helicopter…every one of
the soldiers had a service in Iraq and it was quite devasating for his
soldiers.

I have a young friend currently serving in Baghdad who emailed me a couple of weeks ago that he worries people have forgotten them and how many troops are still there who won’t be home for Christmas. I’m sure there are many efforts underway to send greetings to the troops and would encourage us all to do some searching either on the internet or in our local communities to do something to support our troops overseas at this time of year when they’re so far from home and in danger.

Susan

(I asked him if he’d mind if I gave his email address to some people who’d like it and he said that’d be fine. I won’t post his address here, but if anyone would like it, please email me and I’ll give it to you - susnfx@msn.com )

There are many troops in Iraq who seldom if ever receive letters or packages.
My nephew is in the 4th ID due to come home in April if the army is telling the truth.
My family has been involved (primarily my sisters) in gathering items needed by the troops and shipping packages off. They are in touch with his Units officers and NCO’s and have made sure that in my nephews unit that the guys and gals get some mail and at least a small package at Christmas.
Aside from the politics of the war the GI who are living thru some tough times. As a Viet vet I feel for how lonely and desolate it is to be in an unwanted stranger in a strange land. They need our support and encouragement.
We will be relieved when he get home but that will be tempered with the knowledge that another nephew is being deployed in January. So the anxiety will continue.

Thought I’d give this thread a bump.

I received this on an update from (Cp4978@aol.com ) this is another person sending packaged to members of the 4th infantry division.
Except for people like this woman our guys would be in very desperate conditions. The military provides them with so little that it makes me crazy. My nephew even had to write home and get someone to go the PX to buy him a new set of clothing because his had worn out and they could not get replacements. Hey everyone. Just an update on care packages.

"We were able to get basic
packages out lsat week to the following soldiers:

SPC. Herrara
SPC. Reed
SSG. Gonzalez
SPC. Rosario
SPC. Peterson
1LT. Carlisle

Thank you all for your help!! I sent basics, Chef Boy Ar Dee Meals,
Magazines, Power Bars, Gatorade powder mix, chips, salsa, Aquadrops throat drops etc.

There is absolutely no money left for any more soldiers and I do have more
that I can send packages to. So, if you would like to give a little (again for
many of you), that would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot. Take care!! KEEP
YOUR CHIN UP! You all rock!!


Love & Prayers,
Shannon
