Hugs to you Nicole from the both of us. Dear Nicole,
Would you send us your brother's mailing address.
I just posted on Celstu 1 thread regarding her brother in Iraq.
We would very much like to include your brother in our sending care packages to.
Those we have heard from have said they especially appreciated items such as, foot powder, foot soaks, baby wipes, disposable thin rubber gloves, small jar of vaseline, eye glass wipes. alchohol wipes (individual packets come in small box of 100) a quart plastic container filled with cool aid, lemon aide, tea pkgs. Freezer bags. Several stores have the small individual variety of items for $1.00 and they pack real easy. These are items that they remarked about getting. Little things, but to them they mean a lot.
It is so important to support our men and women serving in our armed forces, we don't have to agree of them having to be where they are, but we most certainly can help to make their stay there more bearable.
Hugs to you Nicole and please let us help you to help your brother and the others serving there with him.
Patti and Jack

Our letter we send to our troops,
This Is For All Our Troops Men and Women
God Bless Each Of You.
This is being sent to each and every one of you to let you know our thoughts and Prayers are with you daily. We sincerely hope the package we have put together are items each of you will be able to use. We wish we could come and take your place so each of you could be with your families and loved ones. I know there are many Grannies and Gramps that share the same feelings as we do. Please keep strong in your Faith and know that Our Dear Lord knows our needs as we strive on each day. I must keep telling myself as the years are upon us both that God didn’t promise us a rose garden without the thorns but HE did promise us Strength for each day and Hope for tomorrow and Eternity with HIM. We continually pray for you and your families and are grateful to each of you for the many sacrifices you make in serving in our Armed Forces. We have constantly emailed our Government Officials and let them know to make sure your needs are met.
We also voice our own view on our being there in Iraq/Afghanastan. We don't go along with our government continuing to be in Iraq or Afghanastan, but we support each of you in our daily thoughts and prayers and hope the care packages help in some way to know we are here for you.
We pray the country there will be able to return to care for itself and you all can return home soon.
We send a big hug to each of you.
Sincerely, Grannie Patti and Grampa Jack
