Wendybeth, that story is so awesome! Most of the old timers here know I do this on an ongoing basis, Lani and I have done several 'operations' together and if I know Lani she is still supporting the troops. While my brother #3 was over there just this past summer some people I post with on a private board did a drive for his kids that got extended...and just recently a cub scout pack of the Inland Empire did an operation Thank you for a USMC platoon serving in Iraq til next spring that my nephew is assigned to.
It's hard to seperate the war from the warrior at times, but they do deserve our support. Lani managed to send the bomb of 'girly' packages on our first operation....lavender made them feel so girly. I always stick an extra ziplock in my nephews box for him to hand off to any females in his unit or just on the base he's at in Iraq...it makes me feel a bit better.
