Thanks! HiJinx-
I really only planned to send to 300 Marines this time, but people around here were VERY generous. It did put me in a bind for postage, though. We’ll spend close to $3000 this year for postage by the time I get my garage emptied! Thank goodness for people who donate a little bit here and there- because there’s always another Marine.
My state Rep. tried to get our National Guard to pay for it, but no go. Also, this time of year there are too many requests for military transport-anyone have any ideas to get postage covered for next year?

God bless our troops!

It sounds like you're doing this all on your own - have you asked any of the service clubs in your area for help? The Lions' Club, Kiwanis, Rotary, VFW, or American Legion? Even if you only get a few hundred dollars, it's that much that doesn't have to come out of your pockets!
