Now that I see that the turn-out for the Melbourne Run is stacking up to be good, I'd like to encourage everyone who wishes to participate to help me put together some care packages for our soldiers and marines overseas.
I've found a website that lists soldier's APO/AE addresses(that's the mailing address for you when you aren't in the country anymore) who have requested their names to be put on a list for care packages. Many of these men and women are senior NCO's and officers who then distribute the packages amongst their soldiers.
I'm hoping to get enough donations to put together several nice packages with assorted items that these AMERICANS can use and enjoy.
Here's is a list of thing's we used to like to get or wished we could get when I was deployed...
Beef Jeky / Baby Wipes(very useful)
Multi Tools / Hard Candy
Books/Magazines / Drink Mixes(w/sugar pre mixed)
Disposable Camera / Small Hand Tools(hammer, screwdrivers)
CD's/DVD's(No War flicks) / LETTERS FROM KIDS
Laundry detergent / Calling Cards(120 min., its overseas)
Cereals / *Ladies, anything a woman could use*
Also, we will have to have postage for these packages. I will be more than willing to pack them and ship them however, I will need help with the postage.
If you can't or don't want to participate that's fine, still show up and take a ride with some great people and have a good time.
If any one has questions that they would like to TALK to me about, PM me for my contact info and I'll be more than glad to answer question OR TAKE SUGGESTIONS!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME..... ADAM WETHERINGTON
