~ FReeper Canteen ~ I would send (fill in the blank) to our Troops for Christmas? |
Welcome to the FReeper Canteen! It's great to have you with all of us!! Thank you to all of our Troops, Veterans, and their families for allowing us to entertain you! |

We Want To Know...

What would you send to our Troops this holiday season?
We're usually silly in here, but today we thought we'd ask a somewhat serious question. If you could send something to our Troops this holiday season, what would it be and why? Holidays can be lonely for even some of us that are stateside, but imagine being in Iraq, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Gitmo, or elsewhere and far away from your family. What would you want to have if you were so far away? Make it as silly, serious, or fun as you want it to be. Please don't make it political!

I'm still going and going and going....
I did take a day off for the Patriots game on Sunday with the former 2Lt and a couple of my friends. That was fun.
Now its back to the grindstone. I might get a couple of days off after Christmas, but I will be working Christmas day.

Actually, I recently participated in a charity of sorts for the troops at my church. See, each person who wants to participate donates $10. Each $10 donation is then used by the guy organizing the fundraiser to buy a phone card. Then, a couple days from today, the man will fly to Iraq (He got special permission from our governor, Jeb Bush) and freely distribute all the phone cards he had acquired amongst the troops, so they can use them to call home and talk to their loved ones.
