A very special thank you to all of you who donated to the 1-41 Infantry today at the VFW breakfast.
We have an amazingly generous community.

Just a reminder that we will be sending out a package hopefully by 10/1/11 so if you would like to add something to the shipment, pm me and I will be happy to pick your items up.

Hey everyone. If you would like to send a support letter to Navycpo7,s son please contact me and I will make they go out in the next shipment.
We will be partnering with the Conifer VFW Ladies Auxillary for future shipments to Navycpo7's son as they have also adopted the same unit.
They are in need of Christmas cards to send to the unit as well as other units so if you have any laying around or want to just pick up a package in the near future....contact me and I will make sure to get them to them.
A special thank you to Towermonkey for your more than generous donation. We will put it to good use.
We are still in need of items to send out so please contact me asap with your donations.

Becky, did the shipment make it out? Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I am sending it out at the end of this week.
If anyone has any Halloween items they would like to send, contact me asap.

So what happened with this Becky? Did they ever get this shipment? Did they enjoy? And why is this thread under TSAC's forum as this shipment had nothing to do with TSAC?

They did get their shipment. It arrived on the same day as TSAC's from my understanding and I was under the impression that TSAC did hear that they enjoyed it but credit was given to TSAC.
I am just glad they received it and did enjoy it......no matter who took the credit.
