Re: Christmas Requests 2008
Just a thought but maybe
CSM Harry B. Lockamy's folks (USA, IQ) could benefit from a some more Holiday Cheer - 570 Soldiers - 42 reqs - out of Texas.

Re: Christmas Requests 2008
I have sent several packages last month. Then, I have been involved with family things. Today, I thought that I could get a box in mail, but I didn't get it packed in time. Do you think they will get it by Christmas if I get something in the mail tomorrow or Saturday?

Re: Christmas Requests 2008
Ruth, go ahead and send it. If it doesn't get there before Christmas (and I think it WILL), they'll appreciate it anyway...two Christmases, if you will...

Re: Christmas Requests 2008
Ruth -One or two days past deadline - they just might get it 'on time':).
Just a thought - even in the civilian world there are jobs that must be done 24/7/365. How much more so in a combat zone!
How cool for the Soldier coming back from a patrol a few days after the holdiay to a 'late arrive' package just for his guys.
Personally, the package that arrives after Christmas brings just as big a smile for me as the on time ones:).

Re: Christmas Requests 2008
I figured this just arrived unit from Fort Drum could probably use some holiday support so I am posting it here even tho they have not specifically asked for it.

Re: Christmas Requests 2008
I got 3 large FRB sent to Harry Lockamy today. One had travel mirrors, nail polish, cuticle softener,lip gloss. One had chocolates and the 3rd had body lotions.
Check out the website for E.L.F. for clearance lipgloss and other girl stuff. My daughter says this is the brand that Nordstroms sells and that they are changing the packaging to have their own name on it. I ordered a bunch of stuff and sent most of it today.
Also, I had a couple of pound boxes of Godiva chocolates that I had ordered half-price from their website after some holiday and then delayed having them sent until about 2 months later. So, if they don't melt, they will have some fancy chocolates.
