Having those volunteers on that wall protecting us, sacrificing for us is defintely something that should be on everyone's "need to thank list" this Thanksgiving.

No instant snow in these packages. But, some Christmas candy canes and some top quality snacks.

I currently deployed to an undisclosed location in SW Asia, the packages from home help make it bearable. Especially when you are away for the holidays. Thank you to all of you for doing this for the troops.

Thanks to all the people who serve our country both in and out of the military and thanks to BigRedChief for continuing to make this happen. :-)

It's the Planet that continues to make this happen, not me. The Planet is supplying the money in the packages. I'm just paying the shipping and gathering the goods.

To all the n00bs if you are interested, 100% of all donated money goes into the packages. No overhead, no shipping costs. Thats on me. Every single penny goes to the troops.

New packages going out to the troops in Afghanistan. These packages are going out to the family of a long time poster and member of the Planet community. They have a family member serving in the sandbox. The Planet member would like their identity to remain anonymous.

Please remember to thank the soldier that you know who returned from war. A lot of them are having a hard time adjusting to civilian life.

• More soldiers killed themselves last year in Afghanistan than died in battle.
• A veteran from the Iraq/Afghanistan war commits suicide every 65 minutes here in the USA. Every hour of every day, holidays, weekends, nights, every fucking hour we suffer another casualty of war.

So remember that vet may seem okay and well adjusted but it aint going to hurt anything to tell them you appreciate their service, glad they are back home. Offer to help in any way that they could possibly reach out to you and maybe just save them from a really bad decision.
