Please
Support Our
Troops!
They
need us as we need them!
Our
troops need our help, please consider sending the necessities we
take for granted to them! I have been informed the following
items are not given, they must be purchased by our brave men &
women.
The
following information was sent to me by Sandy
Brake, a Mother, whose son
is station in Iraq.
The
address to send items to is:
ANY
SOLDIER C/O 1SG Goodboe
APO
AE 09391
Please Send the following to our Men & Women Stationed around
the world:
lip
balm with or without sunscreen
hard
candies (nothing that could melt)
wet
wipes for when they are on patrol for weeks at a time
pretzels
etc in small bags
crystal
light (to flavor their bottles of water)
These
are things that I know each and every soldier can use. You
can be creative, add in your personal letters or cards of thanks
and appreciation. Give them your email address or mailing
address so you can communicate with them.
One
of our schools, Ockerman Elementary, had a contest to see what
class could bring in the most items. Each class was
assigned 2 or 3 items to bring in, as well as each student
providing a letter or drawing. The class with the most
items won a pizza party. Their Resource Center for the
school packed the boxes and filled out the customs declaration.
They partnered with a bank to provide the postage. The
newspaper is coming out this week to do a story on the school
and what they've managed to do.
You
could call/contact people you know that work for companies that
would be willing to have their employees fill up some boxes, and
then the company could send the filled boxes. If they
could only do one box, hey, it's one soldier with a smile on
her/ his
face and appreciation and gratitude in their heart. Every
box makes a difference, and children love to help.
Veterans societies do a great job with this. Even if you
print out flyers and post them at the grocery stores, church,
bowling alleys, anywhere you can think, it would help.

Flat
Rate Boxes, Priority Mail can be obtained from the Post Office
at no charge. There are two different sizes, both hold
about the same amount so the cost to ship is the
same.....$8.10.
Customs
Declarations and Dispatch Notes must be filled out and given
to the postal clerk at the time of mailing to identify items
going into Iraq.
"Thank
you for any and everything you can do, or are willing to try.
It is so much appreciated. Sandy"
God
Bless Our Troops, God Bless You & God Bless America!
