Care Packages for Native American Troops

[GJJudd]

Paul,
Sorry i didn't participate, I was sending packjages to a friend and his dad, yes they both were deployed around the same time. Will this be done on a constant basis or can you give us a name and address? I was sending monthly packages for a while, but both them came home. can't send alot, but can send something. PM me if need be.

Paul, I just wanted to say that in giving your time and energy organizing this project, you have, once again, given more than you realize. . . my mail last week contained a 'thank you' postcard from Baghdad - from a GI I don't know who got one of the packages. The joy in this GI's words made my day, so I say thanks to you again for all your effort!

My pleasure!

[COLOR=SeaGreen]Just wanted to say "Ah-ho-Thank You" on behalf of our soldier son, he did receive the care package from powwows.com and was happy to read about all the indian happenings/newspapers, etc. and was glad to see his uncle lewis in the whispering wind magazine, it was a nice gesture to do this for the troops, every little thing they receive helps while they are so far from home, again, thank you so much God Bless you all and also, "God Bless our Troops"

Great!!

Glad he enjoyed it!!

Paul, this is another remarkable effort on your part. The troops will be so glad. Thank you.

[Paul G]

Thanks again for all the support and donations. The packages are boxed and ready for shipping. I'm taking them to the Post Office this week.

Here are some photos of them.

Still time to send something!!

Paul, I know that the troops who receive the packages will be touched beyond words. Your efforts to provide them not only a gift, but a gift that celebrates who they are will make many trying days easier and more bearable.

I, too, am amazed at the lack of response from the site. My donation was modest to be sure, but I mailed it out the day I read your original post and sat back waiting to read about the flood of other donations. Perhaps it was just a really bad year for 'giving' with all the disasters worldwide and the economy being what it is . . .

Personally, I thank you for all the effort you have put into this project.

Thanks!

Thanks to those of you that have participated. And we really appreciate the corporate support.

However I'm very disappointed with the response from the site. Lots of you asked for another Holiday project. And many of you emailed to tell how excited you were about this project. To date, I've only recieved about 5 donations from members and 1 letter.

I know that those who recieve the packages will be very excited. The corporate support has provided some nice items.

But because of lack of support this will our last project during the Holidays.

one more question Paul. Is there a limit on how much goodies we can send. I know it all has to be store bought.

As long as I can get it to fit in boxes!! I can't ship a truck load!!

But if you have some goodies, send them on!
