After talking to you EO and getting your permission at Tawakoni, I decided to go ahead and post this on your thread.
Hello to all the THB people and others. As you are aware our soldiers are put in harms way all the time. especially while on deployment. They make do with what they have which is not enough compared to what we enjoy each day. i have learned more about this more recently since my son is deployed to Afganastan. I have received information that they have not even some basic things plus things they would enjoy. Cash is also a problem for some depending on where they are at. So I am asking for help in gathering these things and cash. They will go to an address for there FOB and be distributed.
This the email I received from Jasons ( nitro jr ) wife.
Everything that our soldiers overseas needs is as follows: pillowes, blankets,longjons, sheets, pillow cases, snack foods,toothpaste, tooth brushes, deoderant, laundry detergant,mouth wash, bug spray, hand santitizer, toilet paper, towels, wash cloths, shampoo, conditioner,body wash, lufas, lots of snack foods, cookies, chips,pertzals, anything that will help them think of home.
cash money (they dont have an atm on their base) and finance only comes once a month.
any thing to keep them warm.
and anything else anyone wants to send. things that remind them of home. pictuers, cards, letters, anything you can think of. but especially anything to keep them warm. its going to start snowing very soon. flanal sheets would be good also.

So I would like to make the party that EO is putting on a point that we can get involed with this very special charity. The holidays are fast approaching. Winter is coming there the snow will be falling and they need our help and generocity. I will be at Joe Pool Sat to collect donations. Donations for the shipping would be a help also. Shipping is expensive.
Thank you and look forward to seeing you all at JOE POOL. Thank you EO for allowing me to put this on your thread for your event.
Thank you all..Any other questions or advice call me at 817 455 8761 or email at
