Our school is going to be making and sending Holiday Boxes for the troops in Iraq. I was hoping that DUers could help in their efforts. I thought it would be wonderful if the kids had lots of items to send. We don't get a whole lot of participation in these kind of things.

16. Sounds like it's Dec. 2nd.

I have a box of crossword puzzle type books that my Mom liked. She has passed on and I will send them to the school. I'll get a box together and send it on Monday. Since my Mom was a flight nurse in the Army/Air Corps in WWII, I think she would be happy with my sending them. They are a couple of years old, but have never been written in so they look like new. Hope they will be of some use.

If I can get out and get some mechanical pencils to send along with them I will, but I can't commit at this point. If I get them, I'll include them in the box.

10. Kick

I will see what I can do. It won't be a lot but I guess something is better than nothing.

[ComerPerro]

11. Yes, its good that people help. But I just have to ask

Isn't this the sort of thing we are paying Hiliburton billions of dollars to provide?

And even for those things that may not be provided by Haliburton, shouldn't much of this be provided by our government?

Where is the money going?



Tooth brushes?
Socks?
Deodorant?
Soap?
Shampoo?


Come on!

13. "But they're the only company in the world that can get the job done"

I hope these bastards fry in hell for what they've put our troops through.

[EFerrari]

12. I can, middle of next week. Bookmarking.

:kick:

[EFerrari]

14. If we get this thread over 10 votes, more folks will have the op

to see it.

[Freedomfried]

15. No way!

Won't send anything to anybody involved in the occupation of Iraq.

And I find it basically a bad idea to cheer lead a bunch of kids in schools in the US into thinking that this is some kind of legitimate national endeavor.

Never mind the free plug to some of the biggest corporate scumbags going.

Should of just thrown Walmart up there while you were at it, they got such "low prices".

17. Really? Like the troops had a choice in being there.

The online links were provided for convenience. By the way...BITE ME.

26. So you are going to blame the troops and spit on them

when they come home? Did you learn anything from Vietnam?

19. Question..

Is putting together a music CD legal to send? Or would they get ya for copywrite?

Blah, I just thought it would be a nice pickmeup to send them some music.

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. Under title seventeen it may fall under failr use

if yuo want to be completely sure, download it from a paying servie and then burn the tracks

[coffeenap]

20. Please don't forget the women--I have been told they have to provide

their own menstrual products. I hope this is no longer true, but it was true last year when I was working on a project to send books to specific members of the service. :shrug:

[coffeenap]

21. Can they use sample sizes? I have a box left over from another

similar project. Best to you.

33. Wow! Thanks!!

I thought this post got buried a long time ago. I have been away for a few days.

[rasputin1952]

36. I think it is a great idea, and am going to participate...

As an old Vet, I know that nothing, absolutely nothing, no matter how large or small is appreciated like something from the "World".

These kids get my kudo's...these kids are on the ball in that school...:)

I may not like the fact these men and women are there, but they are our sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, fathers and mothers.

My fight is with the evil cabal that sent them there not with our srvicemembers.

I urge DU'ers to support our men and women in harm's way,,,O8)
