Let's make some grown men cry!!!

 David L. Goeltzenleuchter and his group have only received 2 boxes since May 13th.  17/3.  Leaves in October but for the next few months we could surely bring some more tears to their eyes.

SGT Michael Jordan - Afghanistan, posted today, July 27.  First posted May 9 for 15 men, has 16 requests for address, has not received anything!  Let's try to get him some supplies!!!

SSG Tim Long-Qatar, 60/20 8 requests since May. has not received anthing in a couple of months

SSG William Long - Iraq, 110/30 - 9 req.  They signed up May 31 and just got their first package.  Sounds like these guys could use some TLC!

I have been requesting contacts, but mail has been taking over three weeks to arrive.  So I am wondering if things are being sent, but not getting there or are in transit?  I sent a notice to USPS and they are looking into 4 of my packages now.  Just a thought to consider.

 It could be that the package that Sgt. Long received has been the only package that was mailed to him even though he has been signed up since May.

 Fireftnchick- If you are sending to Afghanistan, it is not unusual for it to take three weeks to get there and especially if it is in a hot zone or a hard to reach area.  There was a post by Bettis, that says food, water and ammo take precedence over all other packages (which is totally understandable) and if you are sending to the guys who are in the middle of it, then that would explain part of the delay.  Sometimes it took months to get to our guys because of the situation where they were.

i found these today        va girl

I just sent a package to Meagan Young.  So one of those 6 requests for her address is mine.

I sent one large flat rate box to Meagan Young / Attn Any Female Soldier packed tight w/hygiene and sanitary products.  Mostly female but some unisex. Also 6 sport bras, inspect repellent, sunscreen, shampoo, bodywash, etc.   Bagged in name brand ziplock bags.

The box is well reinforced with packing tape.  I think I'm getting the hang of this stuff, using every teeny tiny nook and cranny in the box.

Went into the mail late afternoon today.  I live on East Coast so maybe it won't take too long to get to her.

Just ran across this post today -

Charles F. OConnell, 81/6, 6 requests, first post May 28, just posted again today, July 29. Interesting comments on the weather too:)

I just read an update from Tom Tolman who has had 6 requests and not received a box or letter yet.  He has a friend who got a bunch, though.  That must be frustrating!

i just saw that one too esmerelda. you're right. he must be wondering when he's going to get a delivery!

wow!! That sounds like a lot of good stuff you sent.  I know Meagan and company will

be very appreciative!!  I look at all of our troops that request items and wish i could do more.(i know that's not original
