Semper Fi.

This gave me a real chuckle. Nothing, but NOTHING, stops the Marines. They’ll find a way. BTW, the last Marine quoted is from Baghdad, AZ. I thought that was a typo, and looked it up, and there really IS a Baghdad, AZ. It has lots of golf courses. Perhaps one day Baghdad, Iraq will, too. We pray for the safety of our troops and for the success of their mission.
Now you’ve made me hungry for tuna.
Tuna. It’s not just for liberals anymore.
A nice tuna sandwich on toast would totally own right about now
Great story!
For some of the troops I help support, I decided they would probably like something a little different than those dry cheese crackers or stick-on-the-roof-of-your-mouth peanut butter ones (all prepackaged.)
So, I cleaned the store shelf of little cans of ham spread. Then came crackers - every kind you can think of. I just knew they would love it.
Then a friend reminded me - no pork products to the troops. Huh? This is ham! Not pork.
BINGO! I think I hit myself on the head at that point.
Anybody have any ideas what to do with a dining room table full of little cans of ham and boxes of crackers?
The Marines: God’s gift to America.
This way you know what got sent because you did it. Try it out.
Sell ‘em, eat ‘em or throw a party. The next neighbourhood event sure won’t lack ham and crackers... LOL.
Loved the tuna story!
About your ham, you could donate it to your local food shelf. A lot of people are in need of good, shelf-stable food.
But it doesn't have an "h".
Have a theme fund-raiser around the food, and use the proceeds to send something to the troops.
That ain't right! Bad enough we keep the female troops mostly confined to bases, but cowing to Islamic dietary standards is going way over the line.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Salute!
What about some Salmon. Fruit cocktail is always a favorite, they can eat the fruit and drink down the juices.
And dont ever forget PBJ sandwichs, which on the History Channel said that Peanutbutter and Jelly sandwichs was invented durning WW2 for aircrews as a easy snack while flying missons.
God Bless the USMC....

Your local rescue mission would love to have it.
You’re right. I was confused by the fact that on the google page, it showed “Baghdad, AZ, Golf Courses.” But on the city’s home page, it was indeed “Bagdad, A,” originally a copper-mining town. Thanks for the correction.
