During the holidays I especially reflect on the troops mainly because I have been in a desert or deployed during a lot of the holidays throughout my career. I know this AR family for the most part is as giving to others. So what I would like to do is challenge you guys to get a prepaid box from the post office and you can ship this to any troop serving overseas for a flat rate of $12.95 or so. I cannot tell you how much crystal light powders or a letter or little Debbie cakes mean to you when you are over there, these are just little things we pass by 10 times a day a the grocery or convenience store, and they are just little creature comforts you just don't see or get when you are serving overseas. Monster energy drinks is what I most missed and my wife religiously would send the blue ones to me because all I could get were green. lol seems so simple but yet it kept me driving forward to coming home. Believe it or not there are troops that don't get care packages from family, its sad but to see someone get one totally unexpected just brings a tear to your eye, or when you get one and there is 15 people crowded around to watch you open to see your goodies, it is just something that cant be explained unless you have been there.
So my challenge to you is to find a soldier, airmen, marine, or seaman an brighten their holiday away from their family, serving to keep us a free and safe nation, and world. I guess for our international brothers there may be a program set up for them as well. I think one of the biggest ones in America is anysoldier.com, also local churches do some as well. Hopefully you can find it in your heart's to do this preferably by early December so they are ensured to get it. Keep in mind there are certain things that cannot be shipped, gear, (lol), alcohol, porn, and the rules are posted on the website. Drop a note or just drop a package off and brighten someone Christmas or holiday.
Thanks because coming from a military background it truly is appreciated from the front lines
