Topic: Looking for deployed troops

[Momma Sheepdog]

I met a women at the grocery today that is a member of a local VFW Ladies Auxiliary. She said they send goodie boxes to troops but are having trouble getting addresses to send them to. Have to have a name and address, they just can't be sent to any soldier at an APO address. If you know someone that is deployed that could use goodies, toiletries, and just a package that would let them know that people at home do care PM me with name and address and I will get it to her group.

some friends just left for the sand box give me a week or so to give them time to get down range and get setup and ill get you some names and address of some local guys.

I have names and addresses but can not give them out.  However, I'm more than happy to take the package and ship it on.  I'll cover the shipping expenses.

Jeff, I will talk to the ladies about that. She was saying that the shipping was $60.00 to $70.00 per time. If you pay shipping that's extra money they could spend on goodies. Can you give names so they know men or women and can mark the boxes accordingly?

[Jeff]

I'll ask if I can give out names. They are all men in the 116th in Iraq.

I just sent them an email asking for addresses, so as soon as I hear back from them i'll send you and IM

Thanks guys. I will attend their next meeting in April. I will give them the information then. Thanks for your help. I can't guarantee how soon they will send items but she was shopping for stuff when I met her.
