Patty,
Today I sent off two flat rate boxes to Stryker C Co. Each box had:
5 tuna lunches-to-go
1 box (60 ea) Crystal Lite on-the-go drink mix
1 pkg (4 ea) diced peaches
8 pkg assorted cookies and crackers
1 letter of thanks
That's not much but it filled the boxes. Wish I could send a box to all the troops!
All of us working together get enough sent off that our adopted units know they are loved and supported. In no way can we cover all the troops there, but we are not the only ones doing this. Lots of people around the country are working through family and friends or other groups to send packages to the troops.
Our part of all this effort is important, as we can see from the emails and letters we get back. It is mostly them seeing that they are remembered and appreciated that is the best gift we can send them. Unless, of course, there are snacks, as snacks are always loved by young men.
Your packages will bring a lot of cheer. Thank you so much for being a part of our group and sending goodies to our adopted troops.
Yeah, SENClander!!
