    Default Care Packages

    Cal n da boys can smack me silly but couldn't think of a more appropriate place; as many of you know I try to hook up our brothers with various items over the course of their tours. I hope it has made the time a little easier.

    That said, since most of the guys have rotated or are in mid-rotatation home if I can offer some support to somebody or somebodies in the box drop me a PM.

    All the best to each of you and God speed.

    Me three. It's been 2 months since I've shipped a package, so it's about time again. Repeat offenders welcome.
    I don't have cool stuff either unfortunately.

    You sure hooked me and my guys up!! We all appreciated it more than you know. I'll be going on block leave in June. Maybe we can get together sometime.

    I sent my xbox 360 to Iraq a few weeks ago and now it doesn't work. Pisses me off, trying to get it fixed for my Drill Sergeant. Anyways, I'd like to send stuff too.

    I looked them up online - looks like a good organization. I sew a little, so might manage a quilt or two for them if I get my time organized.

    They are one of the two best organizations in existence, WWP being the other. Any time/effort/funds/heart given is well worth it.

    I am not interested in joining anything but if I had a few more names and addresses I would love to send another box or two. I just prefer to send them anonymously. If you have names and addresses just pm me.
