Supporting Soldiers from Ohio and Michigan
Here are some recent notes from soldiers in Afghanistan, particularly a large contingent from Ohio and Michigan. If any of you have decorations from Ohio or Michigan that would brighten up their living quarters and guest rooms, please let us know.
"Oh, and this is an odd request since y'all are out Texas, but of course my unit is made up of mostly people from Ohio and Michigan so they are asking for Ohio State and Michigan University type stuff."
"Yesterday we had received the additional mattress pads and sheets and we've probably already given out half of them. We also gave out more fleeces and blankets because cold and snowy weather has hit us again. And yes, the chocolate and gummy worms everybody loves ..."
Other items asked for were bungee cords, yoga mats, and a computer projector that can be used for yoga classes and other presentations.

January Packing Party Recap
On January 21, we held our first large packing party for 2012. A special thanks to Daren, Rick, James and Jenell for their assistance and use of the USMP warehouse.
We packed 171 care package boxes this past weekend for our soldiers serving overseas in Afghanistan. In addition to Valentine themed items, we also shipped snacks, coffee, toiletries, blankets, DVD's and assorted other items.
There are still roughly 100,000 American troops serving in Afghanistan.
For our troop contacts in Afghanistan who were not recipients of the above January care packages, we will continue to make smaller shipments throughout January, February and March. Our next large packing party is tentatively scheduled for the end of March, and will be coordinated with our receipt of Girl Scout cookies.
As always, thanks to all the volunteers and donors who helped make the packing party a success.
For those inquiring about our special requests, we now have a special request for a large number of pillows, twin mattress pads and sheets.
