Received a letter today from Neverteasit....

[rrc]

Good news......he got my two packages.

Bad news....a package with about $700 worth of stuff from his family NEVER made it.

He's working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. He's re-arming the Humvees.

Says the PX shelves are bare.

Anybody who was thinking of sending something and has not got around to it...PLEASE DO.

He's in good spirits....considering.

My admiration for those guys is unending.

everytime someone writes a post about Tease its a good feeling because you know he is still alive. These guys couldn't be in a worse possible situation. They already won so send them home. they can't win what they are up against now. Its just an impossible situation.

 

[gardenweasel]

rrc -- going tomorrow to buy the stuff. Did he mention any specifics to send?

 

[zig]

dawgball, can you resend me your information. I'd like to donate.

 

[SixFive]

good deal! Glad he's ok.

 

[rrc]

Nothing really specific....he said the shelves at the Px are always bare.

From last year and this year I remember....

socks
snacks
mouthwash
foot powder
lotion
toothpaste
deodorant

Maybe some others can remember somew stuff they sent last year.

he did mention that "dollar store type" stuff is fine. I think they're more interested in quantity than quality. gl

socks
snacks
mouthwash

You think I should just load up on these things?? Of course, I would throw some Axe body spray in for them, too.

DB, somehow my check did not get mailed out to you until Saturday but it is on the way.

 

[rrc]

Maybe someone could do a search for last year's thread where neverteaseit listed the stuff they could use :shrug:

If not I'm sure whatever you send will be greatly appreciated.

I do know that socks were one of the big requests.

Good luck.

I'll not be buying cards and chips this year. Taoist included several decks of cards with what he sent over.

Other than that, would you think they still want candy for the kids? Anything else you would eliminate?

I am going today to purchase.

 

[Paydirt]

I think that whatever you get will be much appreciated. I would also include the candy if its not given out I figure it will get eaten nonetheless. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
