Hi all! Hope this is OK for me to post here.  Anyway, I'm working on a special project for a friend of mine (and "Lisajan's" too!) from the Patriot Guard Riders who is also an active-duty Marine about to be deployed REALLY soon.  This saturday, there will be a farewell party for him. I thought it would be really nice to get a bunch of emails of support and well-wishes to give to him on Saturday...that way, as he flies off to the Sandbox, he can have a whole stack of reassuring, uplifting emails of SUPPORT to read along the way. (If I get enough messages, I can fashion them into a simple scrapbook or something!)  If you can take a minute to drop me a quick email for him, I'd be forever grateful!  Just send it to me at JEFFSKAT@GMAIL.COM with "MARINE" (or something similar) in the subject line.  Either that, or post a message here for him and I'll copy/paste/print/etc as needed.  Thank you SOOO much!  I need all the emails by Thursday midnight (which I guess technically would be Friday early a.m., lol!), so I can assemble them into some kind of scrapbook or something Friday night. :) Thank you sooooooo much!  I can't express how thankful I am for all of y'all, and for all you do to support our troops.  Have I mentioned lately that y'all all totally ROCK?!  (and...if it's not ok to post this here, let me know and except my profuse apologies!)

Hugs,

Momma Kat & Family

Hi Katt,

Happy to do this! Could we get a first name, or should the message just be written to "Marine"? 

Hmmm... good question.  I left out the name on purpose for confidentiality and this being a public forum and all... so how about we go with his nickname, which is "SHOCKTROOPER"

Just sent you an email for him.

Thanks, Kat! I will work on a message for "Shocktrooper" and send it to you later today.

Sent a message, Hope you got it. Diane

Sent you email, hope you got it.  Give Shocktrooper a big hug for me!

Dear Kat,

Sent you an email for the scrapbook from our family....what a thoughtful friend you are.  I am sure he will really appreciate your kindness...take care, Laura

Just sent an email from our family!  Maybe give Shocktrooper a little nudge to become an AS Contact once he's reached his location???

Hey, i would be more than happy to do this.  I will send a e-mail to your address. 

i will put "Marine" in the subject line.

Just sent off the e-mail. SUPER-cool idea. Glad you asked us junkies!     Sara D.
