Support The Troops
GIT’ RRR DONE! STAY SAFE,BOB
Please help if you can!!I send out about 215 boxes each week to U.S. military units in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, and Kyrgyzstan. On a daily basis we receive wish lists from the troops either via email or through their families or friends. We do our best to fulfill those requests. The basic items we take for granted here can make a real difference in the quality of life our service personnel experience when deployed in combat zones and remote locations. Receiving an unexpected box of goodies can be a tremendous morale booster for those far from home.The packages we send out contain a variety of items popular with the troops, including coffee, snack foods, batteries, DVD’s, and personal toiletries. Some of these goods are donated by local businesses and organizations; others we must purchase to meet the need. We are delighted to work with any company or organization interested in having a drive to collect items to send to our troops or to raise funds for postage.
This is an on-going project for us so we must continue to seek the community’s help with our increasing postage expenses. The cost to ship one box can range from $20 to $45, depending on the contents and the APO or FPO address to which it is sent. Our postage costs alone run over $8,000 each month. We always have boxes packed up and ready to ship out, but often lack the necessary funds to send them. We ask that any monetary contributions be made payable to: “Postmaster” and sent to “Support Our Troops,” P. O. Box 7560, Wesley Chapel, Florida 33544. One hundred percent of funds received go directly to cover the cost of postage.
If you send me your address I will send you a dvd of all the good things our troops are doing and when you get home show it around ( people need to see the good things you do) and thanks for all the kind words I’m just an old navy guy trying to help our troops.
