Becky, Oh, too cute!!  I've only had 3 so far..all Darth Vader!  WHAT?   Hugs,  Brenda   

Lilly, Thanks for sharing.  I agree that if we are able to offer our Soldier friends a ''mini-vacation'' from the war zone, whether for 5 minutes or 5 hours, then we have been successful!  Di and your soldier friend are lucky to have your support!  Becky, ditto.  If I'm asked for something, within reason, I'll move heaven ...

Hi, Everyone, Just wanted to say hello and let you know I'm still out here packing up boxes for KOP!  One of my nieces has been ill for quite some time, so I've made several trips to Tulsa to help out.  She was recently released from the hospital, still with no diagnosis, but I'm back home now...again...and I've been out today looking ...

SusanMK,  Sent you a PM.  Hugs,  Brenda 

Hi, Kevin! Great to have you here on the forum!   Please check your PM's.  Sent you a message. Hugs from Texas,  Brenda  

Mags, A little competition is always a good thing.  That may be just the thing you need to ramp up the participation level. Another awesome idea!!   hugs,  Brenda       

Got it!  Thanks, Michele.  

Hi, Everyone, Finally heard back from my contact who's near Baghdad.  The Snickers made it in good shape!  The ''extras'' I packed in with the Halloween treat bags were history within minutes of the box being opened!  The boxes were received within 5 days of my shipping them.  Just thought I'd let you know.  

Mags, Great work!  You're right.  Sometimes it seems there are so many who just don't ''get it'', but you've proven that one AS Junkie can change all that.   Congrats to you and to your community for getting involved!  Hope we get to see the pics of ''Red Shirt Friday''! Hugs,  Brenda 

Jo, I'm sure your units can feel the ''love'' you pack between the items in your care packages!   Brenda
