National Association of Military Moms and Spouses

I am involved with Operation Hooah - a great organisation that sends packages to the outposts in Afghanistan. For a long time I have pondered what to pack into my packages, I wanted it to be really what the soldiers want and need. I read, I questioned and
finally got the idea to self address envelopes and added cards saying:
"Please tell me what you want or need". One of the pilots delivered my 10
note cards and today I received the FIRST 3.Some of the things
are real "well DUH's" like a fly swatter!!! OMG - I have to say, that we
have some really modest soldiers out there. They could have asked for
the world but they didn't. Basic stuff, really. I am touched!
Please note what's been asked for and if you have it in your heart connect with Operation Hooah via Facebook: http://www.causes.com/causes/239271 and maybe send a package yourself.

Tammy, thank you for stopping by. Use the flat rate boxes from the post office and the big white customs form. Anything you'll send will be fine because it's from home!! God bless your son and all the soldiers over there!
