    Stolen Gear

    Please read Mateo Alba's post from today as noted on the Where to send page.

    Ann, can you change the thread's name to add the contact name?  Maybe we could use this thread to try and coordinate efforts.  I would just hate to see them end up with seven Christmas trees and not what else they need. 

    I have a soccer ball and pump along with board games I can send.  I also can send quite a few golf balls, but I can't get any of the other golf items. 

    You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.

    Ailish - Pls go right ahead and co-ordinate if you would like to. I have no problem with someone else taking this effort on. My current typing skills leave a lot to be desored. And also feel free to make any changes you see fit.  Thanks , Ann

    PS not sure how to change the name so if you can give a yell.

    perhaps the moderator could add a link to this thread (from the "where to send" home page) so we could get a little more traffic here and could get better cordinated?

    Reminder about marking CDs, DVDs, IPODS, etc.

     The following was posted years ago by Marty:

    "As you might know, on occasion the Iraqi's have no problem supplying movie DVD's at a fraction of the cost back home. What you are not aware of is the fact that those movies are stolen off the bases and sold back to the soldiers. I recommend that when you supply that information to those who send packages and to the soldiers/Marines whom apply for items to be sent in, that they mark the movies to prevent unscrupulous individuals from benefiting from the unwary." Colonel, USMC.

    We strongly suggest that if you send any CDs or DVDs, use a permanent magic marker and simply put "AnySoldier.com" on both the cover and CD/DVD. It won't take long before these won't be a target anymore... -Marty

    In my opinion, I think any type of equipment, including microwaves, refrigerators, etc., should also be marked.  It may not stop the items from being stolen, but they sure would be identifiable if seen in a bazaar.

    I agree Vicki, Let's make this hard for them to take our warriors items.
