If you're a FReeper please help out over here! Take a couple of minutes, write a few lines, send a prayer. Our guy's are in harm's way - you owe'em a line or two.

I doubt the ALL thing is still active so please ping a friend or twenty. Thanks.
Holiday FReepmail Messages for our Troops Needed!
I'm at post #20 - my suggestion is to just post to this thread for simplicity. Once the thread is loaded Ruth can just cut and paste instead of opening individual FReepmail?
Let's roll!
We were bundling messages and cards with the care package items before, but as the troops are on the move right now, the regular care package APO's are on hold.
My Donation Number is just for the scarves, nothing else.
However, if you want to send me a Christmas or other Holiday card for a soldier, or more than one, I will bundle it in the next care package I get soon as I hear from my contacts where their APO's are going to be.
For security reasons, I send all bundled cards, photos, child drawings, etc. without envelopes, so write your address, etc. information on the card itself somewhere.
Just FReepmail me or email me requesting my address and I will send it to you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to our troops at home and abroad. Your country is incredibly proud of you.
America has faith in you and your prowess, and faith that we all fight the good fight, that our cause is just, and that the battle belongs to us.
Two Towers
Shattered in the blue dawn's early gleaming,
Steel and glass fall down one fateful morn.
Twin Towers burn in fires of hateful dreaming.
We wake to pyres of nightmares newly born.Now, rebel clerics fan the flaming rabble.
And yet, the Bell of Hope chimes. God, we hear it
Above the evil death-cult's towering babble,
Ringing to our heart, our mind, our spirit.So to our Towers our streaming faces turn,
Still standing on our bannered City's Hill--
As Root and Branch our enemies can't burn--
As Pen and Sword: the allies of our will.For God and Country stand our righteous Towers.
The Two are not Jihad's. The Two are ours.
FRegards, Jack
