\u272c\u2605\u272c\u00a0Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I am happy to report the packages I sent with all of our heartfelt cards of love and appreciation\u00a0are beginning to arrive on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan!\u00a0\u00a0For those of you who have asked if you could help in March or April ~~ these are\u00a0special requests directly from our troops:\u00a0nuts<\/span>, packaged tuna<\/span>, chocolate covered raisins<\/span>, Maxim<\/span>, Muscle and Fitness<\/span>, Muscle & Body<\/span>, MMA News<\/span>, funny movies<\/span>, \u00a0the books “Lone Survivor”<\/span> by Marcus Luttrell, “Three Cups of Tea<\/span>“, “Stones\u00a0into Schools<\/span>” (both by Greg Mortenson)\u00a0Photography magazines<\/span> & Magazines about dogs<\/span>.\u2665\u00a0 The cut off date is 14Feb for me to receive these items for St.\u00a0Patrick’s Day care packages\u00a0…\u00a0Any items not rec’d by 14Feb will be included in March care packages.\u00a0\u2665<\/span> (Last week I baked 28 dozen cookies for the 6 heroes & their units I am supporting, along with the Combat Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan. <\/span>Earlier today I was found purchasing a bunch of GREEN<\/strong> fun to include with the requested items for March …\u00a0so any of the items underlined above that you can help with\u00a0would\u00a0be greatly appreciated!)\u00a0 … keep reading though … more ideas are in the following paragraphs!\u00a0 \"Rolling<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks a million!!\u272c\u2605\u272c <\/span><\/p>\n

Another blog will be written for specific items requested for Easter after I get the Feb care packages sent, but for now, please\u00a0remember .. the cut off for March care packages\u00a0is 14March. \u2665 <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, to cut down on your costs, if you want to just send me a check, money order, gift card to WalMart, Big Lots, Costco, that would be fantastic .. or you simply click on the “donate” button in the upper right corner of my website\u00a0: <\/span>http:\/\/alwayssupportourheroes.com\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Another way you could help\u00a0is shipping costs.\u00a0If you can\u00a0send an AmEx gift card or if the post office offers\u00a0 gift cards, that would be MAGIFICENT!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My website (<\/span>http:\/\/alwayssupportourheroes.com\/<\/span><\/a> ) \u00a0has recently been updated with links on how to “adopt a hero”, along with the most up-to-date details on\u00a0 “how to ship” packages and “what to send” to our valiant heroes.\u00a0 Please refer to the website BEFORE emailing me.\u00a0 As the year progresses, I am committed\u00a0 to\u00a0focusing on my health, organizing my life,\u00a0working full time job … and of course quality time with family & friends\u00a0every month, as\u00a0part of “Being Better”.<\/span> \"Winking<\/p>\n

\u2665 Since my\u00a0ultimate goal is to get every service member “adopted” for their deployment, if you can\u00a0adopt your own service member or rally your friends to do this as a project\u00a0together, you can sign up\u00a0at: <\/span> http:\/\/adoptahero.us\/<\/span><\/a> … that would be AWESOME.\u00a0\u2665<\/span>My address is:<\/span><\/p>\n
