My wifes kindergarten class has adopted two soldiers that are also fathers of children at her school. We talked it through today and we would like to help others any way we can.
Count me in Box and let us know how/when/where/what is the best thing to do.
It shows the caliber of people on this site when they gladly support those they do not know. Remember the men and women deployed into harms way people, they are a long way from loved ones and the good old U.S.A. The smallest box of goodies makes a really big difference when you're away from home and facing violence everyday.
As for me, I've made the choice to go where I was needed, those in uniform don't have that luxury. They follow orders and do what is required of them. Marty is correct, there is no mail service where I'm going but I've set up a mechanism to get some videos back to the U.S. to be posted here on SFC. The people I'm going to be working for have provided a cool little gadget that will get me on the internet via sat. phone so I'm hoping to be able to post some pics when I get the chance.
I'll be calling the little known town of Kutum, Sudan home for a while, they've had some problems I think I can help them solve. So, remember the troops, love your family and God Bless the U.S.A.
