EDIT: Forgot to mention - these folks haven't actually asked for Christmas items. Just thought I'd post them here since they are posting first time, the day after the deadline for mailing. Just a personal opinion here, but seems to me everyone should have a shot at getting Santa mail:) - snacks , hygiene, cards, letters, whatever.

Re: Christmas Requests 2008

old nurse Ruth — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 01:24:36 GMT

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.

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.

SSG John E. Bateman, USA, IQ, Staff Sergeant, 19 reqs

Posted 12/4, 10/0, KS, Requesting: among other things blank cards for sending home for the holidays and special occasions.

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:).
