Support our troops care packages 09

[Raul@Stealth Automotive]

Well its that time of year again... Its time for our annual Support our Troops care packages drive... we have a lot of new members so not all of them know what we have done in the previous year. This will be the 3rd time we have done this and every time its a great sucess... i spoke with the admins again this year and let them know i wanted to do it again.. Last year we were able to send out over 115 packages to our troops.. i think this year we can easily double it.

“With the holiday season coming, we all need to remember what our brothers and sisters in arms are giving up in support of our freedom. Raul with Stealth --- STEALTH AUTOMOTIVE --- asked if the ORG wanted to ban together to send gift baskets to those in harms way. I spoke with him last night and assured him that we're on board 150%.
Like the org or not, there is one thing that can't be discounted and that is the love, admiration, and respect of our men and women in uniform and what they and those before them have sacrificed for each and every one of us. With that being said, we are encouraging individuals to use this thread to establish items to be sent. PLEASE send address's of soldiers you know in the theater who you would like a gift basket to be sent to.
Please only send Raul addresses of soldiers we want to send baskets to. All discussion of the baskets, please keep in this thread so we don't fill up Raul's inbox. :LOL:

AND this is a reflection of our support for our brothers and sisters in arms for all countries. The ORG cherishes the fact that we are a global site, just as we cherish the fact that our brothers and sisters from other countries have sacrificed as much as we have.
If you know an individual who is stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan, please get their address and PM it to Raul.

• If you are interested in sending out a gift basket please PM your full complete address only and how many names you will like. I will then mail you out a name and address once i have them all. While you are waiting for my letter to come in you can start making the basket because In order for the basket to arrive on time it needs to be out in the next 2 weeks.
  
• We ask everyone that is going to send out a basket to follow the rules. you can find them here: What NOT To Send a Soldier in Iraq
  
• As far as suggestions go for what to include you can either read the last thread Support Our Troops
  
• I will also leave this thread open for suggestions on what to put in the baskets... please don't fill up this thread with anything other than suggestions or Bumps

Oh heck yeah!!!! Way to go, Raul! I'm in again this year! Oh and I thought the list from last year had great suggestions. We usually go with toiletries, writing stuff and personal hygiene products. Oh and of course, snacks!!!

PS. This year I have a friend of my daughter who is deployed to Afghanistan. I'll shoot you his name and address later tonight or tomorrow.
