After the note I wrote on the cookie blog about my friend in Iraq and his requesting mail and care packages for his platoon, my heart broke to see how you all respond to Suburban princess valentine package soldier sending. If anyone has the ability to sponsor some more soldiers, my friend there needs letters and packages to share with his comrades also. I have the list of names and he passes out to those without any care packages or letters from home. He wrote me a few days ago and the situation is still the same. Our troops need our encouragement. Also, "Knitwit" if your husband needs more letters of encouragement, email me and I will add him for the letter ministry if you like. I have 2 friends in Afghanistan also.. but sadly only their wives can talk with them due to the high security projects they are with.<br />My only comment is please remember when you send the valentines candy, that chocolate has the tendency of melting in the desert there. They say that M&Ms do pretty well, but the best thing is cookies, nuts, trail mix, hard candies, swedish fish, gummy bears,twizzlers, licorice sticks, power bars, energy bars, and the like. and of course, lollipops. even if they dont eat them themselves, sometimes they give them to the kids in the streets when on patrol I am told.<br />cathy bProjectHope7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02065823588815602100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577783112523684345.post-30408361446104818612010-01-17T10:09:33.042-05:002010-01-17T10:09:33.042-05:00what a wonderful way to give back, I think I'l...what a wonderful way to give back, I think I'll sign up to adopt a solider too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916567590248062795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577783112523684345.post-15056511496675486342010-01-15T09:06:30.691-05:002010-01-15T09:06:30.691-05:00That's such a thoughtful thing to do!

My husband is in Afghanistan right now, and I'm trying to get a package out to him every week because it is literally the one bright point in his week, so it makes me sad to think there are guys there not even getting Christmas mail!
