WhooHooo! XXL slippers! Now if Big Foot gets wounded, they can put booties on him.
Seriously, we have some honking big guys over there. I'm sure they will use your XXL's as well as the XL's and L's I arranged to be sent (and are already there! Thanks to a nice lady dispatcher. :-))
My hubby wears XXL, so I know they are out there.

I have over the last 1/2 year bought out Target's supply of "Man on the Go" travel kits. They only had one left when I went to buy stuff on Friday.
It was the comb in the kit that made me grab some combs without thinking, like those soldiers probably actually use an electric razor to comb their hair. Well, as I said, maybe a lady soldier can use a comb.
It would have saved me money if they'd still had kits left...you get a price break and a carrying case when you buy all the stuff together.
Cheers!

If need be, ours can be in the second wave! Unfortunately, looking at the news today from Fallujah, it looks like we're going to need your second wave....
Bump to you for your support of our wounded!
To: jtill; Mo1
See posts 323 and 344. At least two of our packages arrived yesterday.
Thanks to both of you for your contribution toward our first wave of support for the wounded!

A big THANK YOU to you both on behalf of our wounded.

OPERATION FR CANTEEN SUPPORT OUR TROOPS DAY 2
Hello everyone!
Today we received a generous monetary donation and a box.
We figure everyone did most of their shopping this weekend. We are thankful for all the donations sent in so far. We are very appreciative of all those packages that are in the process of coming to us. If you would like to donate, please don't hesitate to FReepmail us. (Brad's Gramma, Kathy In Alaska, MoJo2001)
Here's a few FAQ's for those that have wondered about this Operation. (FAQ's being Frequently Asked Questions!
Q. Am I too late in signing up?
A. No! This is an ongoing campaign. Our Troops need supplies. This field hospital will be in existence as long as our Troops are in harm's way.
Q. Why isn't our government or military doing anything about this?
A. Our government and military is making sure our men and women have what they need. However, during battle sometimes our Troops get separated from their Camp and personal belongings. Thus, we are trying to make sure that they have the basic necessities before they return either back to their units or sent to a hospital elsewhere.
After all, in most cases our injured heroes are sent to field hospitals.
Q. What does "IT1" stand for?
A. IT1 stands for Information Systems Technician (IT) and (1) stands for First Class Petty Officer.
Q. Are these supplies just for Marines?
A. No. If any of our Troops or civilians are hurt, they will be treated by the hospitals. That is just how our country operates. We help everyone. Whether they deserve it or not.
Q. I don't have any money to spend or send. What can I do?
A. This is never a problem. First and foremost, you can pray. Pray for the safety of our Troops. Second, PASS THE WORD that we are trying to help our Wounded Troops. Third, write a FReepmail with a message and we'll make sure to send it forward. Fourth, stop by and bump the threads. Fifth, volunteer to correspond with one of our Troops via email. (This is not applicable for those military units that do not have email access.) Sixth, write to any corporation, radio station, or to anyone that can help us provide for our Troops.
Q. Can I contact someone for verification via email or phone?
A. Yes! Please FReepmail MoJo2001 to get the information. We will not provide any information on the threads that will endanger our Troops, their jobs, or anything else. IT1 John Young is being mentioned because he's the point of contact for packages and also the husband of MoJo2001.
Q. I am being asked for similar requests. I'm not sure which one is legitimate.
A. Feel free to FReepmail MoJo2001 to ask for verification. Or if you really don't feel comfortable, just stop by and BUMP the threads. We appreciate all the help we can get.
Before we end this, please allow me to THANK YOU all for the help that you are giving to our military. Whether you are participating in this campaign or doing your own show of support, WE APPRECIATE IT!!
Thank you!

Good Morning Xtremarine and fellow American combatants...,
My Division may not have command backing, but YOU have my division, myself, my family and all these GREAT and Generous FReepers who are set to see that no American needs are over sought, especially when they're down. My DIVO brought this to me, I to Mojo, and Mojo to FreeRepublic. Since, we got my Dept Head onboard to allow us to keep this going(as if he had a choice, it's going to happen). It's only a matter of time and packages before we get the Command's full backing. The Post Office has informed Mojo and myself that they'll not deliver all boxes to my house(wouldn't fit in Mondays delivery truck), they'll call when I can pick them up directly.
If you get the chance to pass the word of our endeavors at FreeRepublic to those Doctors and corpsmen, Please do.
If your ever in Hampton Roads, I'll buy the first rounds...
