its never been about the jerky and peanuts. It's always been about a fellow citizen showing a little respect and thanks to a fellow citizen for their service.

I use to get kids to write letters to the troops, I can't get any teachers or schools to do it anymore. They worry about it being viewed politically. I had another project of sendind greeting cards and letters to soldiers who returned home but are still having surgery to repair their injuries from war. Even that has scared them off. Wounded soldiers having surgery to fix their bodies from war, that's possibly political now?:-)

PM sent.

This pic from the header, SSGT Easterling is one of my friends and I passed this pic along to him. I can't afford to give this year, but thanks for all you do.

I've just been informed by my friend that this card was written by Air Force guys and not Army guys so that can't be him. Sorry for the confusion.

there are two Easterlings in the military that are Chief fans, that someone knows on here?:-)

What a coincidence!

For future reference, here's how you can tell. In the Army, we capitalize the entire abbreviation. Captain is CPT, Sergeant is SGT. In the Air Force, they capitalize the first letter. Captain is Cpt, Sergeant is Sgt. :-)

This package is going to out to a Planeteers former unit. They are currently serving in Iraq to help retake Mosul. This one had a special request for some Copenhagen. Sending them about 10 tins in with the usual snack stuff.

This may be the last package sent out through ChiefsPlanet to the troops. I'd like to thank those who contributed to this package and to all the others who over the years contributed to support the troops serving our country.

Please remember the vets. They all have scars of some kind. Just let them know you appreciate their service. It will mean a lot to someone.

I received an email from one of the recipients of our packages a couple of months ago. Thought I should post the troops thoughts on the Planet.

Sorry cant copy and paste but the summary is......

They thanked the Planet for not just the treats but for sending some part of home. They had had a real bad day and the package couldn't have arrived at a better time and day. Tell them Go Chiefs!

New packages going out to the troops over in the sandbox. Posting here because some Planet members contributed and or will contribute to offset the cost.
