last bump only kept the thread on the front page for about an hour. One more to make sure all that contribute know of the new packages going out to RJ's nephew's unit in Afghanistan, [Reply]

recieved this PM. Wonder if we are making a difference?
Hey BRC,
A few days after my wife checked with her brother's wife about this package, he was injured in an IED attack and sent home for medical treatment. Today we learned that his driver and the guy who took his place were both killed by an IED. It's a tough job these guys have (both in terms of personal risk and also in terms of dealing with the loss of close friends).

Thanks again for all the support you facilitate!

I sent out a new package to this unit. Forgot to take the pictures before sending. Sounds like this unit is having a hard time lately. Might give them a brief respite from their grief to be reminded that someone back home appreciated their sacrifice. [Reply]

Bump for Memorial Day. Some of these troops that recieved these packages are not coming home alive. We should pause to at least think of that sacrifice on Memorial Day. [Reply]

probably this week. The next shipment is going out to a Calvary and Marine unit as per request but the Calvary unit has been changing units. Should have an address firmed up this week. [Reply]
