Having been on the receiving end of some of this type stuff, it really is appreciated!
Shoot me a PM I've got some John Wayne movies and will get some pogey bait to ship to you.

Question for you folks that have BTDT, I remember seein' pictures of some of our guys in Iraq do a little fishing for carp and such in their leisure time. What are they using for bait or lures? I'd like to send some their way.
Deal with it.

The eclectic tastes of our members is going to really make the young men and women happy. If you're scratching your head about the anonymous box that had rags ranging from Field and Stream from the early 80s to New England Game and Fish from the 90s to recent Wildfowl issues, as well as an oddball mix of DVDs...  Looking into maybe getting a bulk/library rate. Stand by for more incoming, Lt., please. Got it today. There was not doubt who sent it...and good stuff too.

Excellent. Thanks for the confirmation, Lt. I'll hit you when the next batch is incoming. BIG thanks for doing the heavy lifting on this thing, friend. If helping out in such a small way can bring one of our fighting men (and women) just a few moments of recreation from back home, it's worth it a hundred times over.
Again, thank you so much.

All I had time to do was 1. turn wrenches on helicopters 2. get sand out of helicopters and oil residue off windscreens of helicopters  Don't know about what the guys are able to do now. Mike P.S about all we had to drink was bottled water so any kind of lemonade or flavor packs was appreciated, MRE's only had one pack so it didn't last long. Box going out in the AM Pat! Thanks to you and the Dept for heading this up! Mike

I got thank you cards from soldiers for all the things I sent, but what they seemed to appreciate the most was cigarettes.

They say the best gift is something you would like to receive. I'm sure the cherry Poptarts will be well received!

I'm sorry I've been a little out of touch lately. My own Marine has been home on 14 days leave, and I put him on a flight back to Japan this morning. It's always tough sending him back, and a whirlwind when he's here. A 20 year old Marine, at the peak of his "Oorah", that hasn't seen an American girl or his car in 8 monthes is hell-on-wheels. Add that, at best, it will be a long time before he sees either again and you can only imagine. Good news for Mom and Dad is that he has been reassigned to headquarters in Okanawa as the Battalion Information/Intelligence Management Officer. He doesn't much care for that.
Anyway, an update. Thank you all for the wonderful items donated, and those still in route. Thank the many of you who send care packages already. I have started on 25 large flat-rate USPS boxes and customs labels, to be sent early next week.

Damn fine job Pat, thanks.

Shipped a 40 lb box of gun and hunting books yesterday to Pat, which he has acknowledged.
There probably are not too many things we do that will have such a significant benefit to the troops. They are always in harms way, and deserve and need a break from what they are doing for us.
Big time kudos to Pat for his leadership on this.

Thanks Steve...just got a call from my son, he's back in Japan, pretty depressed after leaving his family,girlfriend and freedom. It's kinda ironic.

Pat,
My oldest son was a Marine pilot flying F-18s. If he ever got an assignment that did not involve flying, he would probably have gone AWOL.
My best, and utmost respect to your son. Hope to meet him some day.
Steve

Everyone surely appreciates it, and he's not joking, gents. It's a lot of stuff!
I was always fascinated by the people that are considered to be completely normal; I always found them to be wierdest of all.
