Want to send a soldier a card?....

Do you want to send a Christmas card to the troops doing the job overseas but don't know for sure how to do it? I may be able to help if you want.

My youngest son said that if I send him some cards simply to any soldier he will distribute them to the chow hall so anyone can pick one up. I will be more than happy to collect some and put them in the flat rate boxes and mail them with our care packages we send him.

The son is a graduate of VHS and Texas State in San Marcos and is now  with the 1/25 Stryker Brigade which consist of Infantry, Calvary, Field Artillery, Support, Intelligence. They are out of Fairbanks, Alaska. So they are having "fun" in the hot sandbox. Temp. in Fairbanks this morning is 1 degree F., it is a big change. They are at Forward Operating Base Warhorse which is near Baquba [Baqouba], about 40 miles northeast of Baghdad.

So if you have a group or you just want to send a few cards out to the people doing the work for us, making sure we can agree and disagree openly on the upcoming elections send me an email and we will see how we can work out a pickup. I work shift work and the wife works M-F so we can probably work it out.  Just send me an email. Of course this is in the Victoria area.

Last suggested send of for packages to the troops over there is Nov. 13 to get there in time.
