I do like JoCee and 'stuff' the original boxes, on drink mix, oatmeal, pop corn, cocoa, etc.   I tape the box shut, mark out the original number and put in big marker ink the new number of packets.   No wasted space, they have directions if they need them, and it's easier to pass out or store (I think ...

The Things I Carry is an amazing poem and I'm sure truly reflects the feelings of so many, who like me, aren't good with words.  Is it possible to print a copy, or get a copy?   Thank you for posting it Marty and for all you and your group have done for so long, amazing the number of lives you have touched because Brian ...

I usually put Chaplain as the alternate.  Been sending for many years and 'knock on wood" have never had one returned. The postal clerk was just wrong.  And I have debated with one guy at our PO, and won all three times.  Had him look up the rule.  He even tried to tell me once I couldn't put any tape on what used ...

People on his blog have been nagging him to post his addy.  Isn't it funny, of all the guys deployed, a heading can say "he's back!" and you instantly know who it is about.  Sure wish he, Brian and Taco would have written that book!

At times like this I wish I were eloquent with words, just please know my heart goes out to your entire family.  You and your husband raised two heroes for sure.  And what compassion you showed in feeling badly for that young Capt bringing you such sad news.  I hope all the happy memories and knowing how many care will bring a ...

Thanks, I'll ck our WMart.  All the towns within a 50 - 60 mile radius from us are pretty small, as is our town, and I know none of them have a Sam's.  We do have a Costco just 30 miles away, my fav Soldier Store.    I'll ck there as well, don't usually go to the dairy section.      ...

I think probably ever AmLegion Aux visits the VA hospitals in their areas, I know the ones is this state do.  The closes hospital is over 100 miles away, but each Aux. goes several times a year so I'm taking a bunch of the valentines the kids made at school.  One big batch was addressed to Dear Veteran,   rather than ...
