Lots of other stuff and more coming, a friend of mine owns a company with about 50 employees and we are about to post a list on the bulletin board. So, if there are any specific needs let me know.

I second that "WOOOHOOO"!!! FReepers are the best!

I foresee MANY smiles on the troops faces in the very near future thanks to everyone's warm hearts and generosity!

Got my package shipped off today ... hopefully it will arrive sometime this week.

If this is going to be ongoing, I will be able to do a little something at least monthly. Keep me posted and let me know when to stop.

[kenth]

You have some on the way from us. It's not much, but what we could afford. Thanks for giving us a way to help!

[oceanview]

that is a good point, please keep us posted as to whether this can be repeated and what the timeline is. i could get some people I work with to participate - alot of them are NY Dems, it will be fun to see which of them coughs up a few bottles of travel size shampoo, I could use it as a wedge issue at work!

We've got the 4H group working on this as a service project. Our next meeting will be in two weeks and I'll send it out then.
Also, my hubby put a sign up in the lunchroom at work. We'll see how it turns out!!!

Hey, ya'll, Brad's Gramma says 'Ping!' this and get over to 287 for a debriefing on this thread. FReepers shipping gear overseas to the troops in Iraq.

Neat-o!

Oh oh......

Check your freepmail in a second. I'm SO SORRY. That means I goofed. I REALLY apologize.

[glock rocks]

That means I goofed.

Inconceivable!

[MoJo2001]

Wow!!

Thank you so much for your efforts. This has been wonderful for my family and it's great to see that your family is participating together.

*HUGS*

[MoJo2001]

Listen to me:

Any contribution for this campaign is GREATLY APPRECIATED. There are some people that are writing letters of encouragement rather than sending money or supplies. We all do what we can. EVERY BIT OF IT IS APPRECIATED!!

Thank you so much for helping us ensure that our Troops received the supplies they need.

*HUGS*

[MoJo2001]

Thank you Jim for showing our Troops and their families what Free Republic stands for.

[MoJo2001]

I'm not sure if I answered you yet, but I really appreciate what you and your family have done for our Troops. God Bless you and your sister Maureen.

(I hope your back has recovered. Prayers sent.)
