Remember Korri "Proud Marine Wife" whom I met last Fall? Well, with everyone's help we were able to assist her family and several other Marine families out of Camp Pendleton in California. Because of you, Korri has been inspired to start her own program "Thanks For Our Freedom" as she has connections with many Marine units deploying. She is holding fundraisers for buying and shipping goodie packages to the Marines, and has many who would appreciate our individual support. She could also use volunteers if anyone in southern California can help. She'll be giving me names so we'll have a steady supply. We are both on Facebook too, so you can follow along there if that is easier. Email me at Nancy@auntnancyusa.com if you want to help in any capacity. Thanks!

Most of the troops we were supporting last Fall and over the holidays have or are shortly redeplying and can no longer receive our mail. These units ARE still deployed: 1. A Co 2-12 CAV, 4BCT 1CD FOB Warrior (and they would like more mail and packages through August 2011) 2. JSS Loyalty -- send packages through May 2011 3. Golby Clinic at Camp Victory -- through June 2011. Have any of you received mail from the above?

SSgt Bonney, and the G-6 Marines we supported over the holidays, are leaving Afghanistan soon. Their FPO (Fleet Post Office) box will be closed early. No more mail should be sent to these troops. Thanks again for all you have done to support my friend's son, Ssgt Bonney, and his fellow Marines. I'm hoping to get a replacement contact before they leave so we may continue to send support. Meanwhile, one of the Marine's wife, Korri, has started a support group of her own and is asking for help. In her case, she will do the buying and shipping. Therefore, if you do not have time to do so yourself, sending contributions her way will now allow you to participate. Her site is "Thanks For Our Freedom" and you can find it on Facebook, or here: http://thanksforourfreedom.blogspot.com/

Aunt Nancy Support the Troops
A Message from Nancy
If you would like to help support the troops, just send me an email request and I can provide you with information on supporting an individual person, or a unit.
For the latest Aunt Nancy information, please see our Blog
Who We Are
My niece and her husband were both officers in the Army and served in Iraq in 2003. Reading letters from them telling us about soldiers who never receive mail or packages from home inspired me, Aunt Nancy, to start a project to get cards, letters, and goodie boxes out to these soldiers.
What We Do
In addition to encouraging everyone to write a note to say "Hello, How are You, & Thanks", I am now asking for people to support one soldier from our list, then shower that soldier with attention over the upcoming holidays (and beyond?).
What You Can Help
If you would like to join our project, click on the email address below and I will send you the name and address of a soldier.
Remember: Helping our troops is NOT a political statement. The mission of Aunt Nancy is to let the men and women in the field, away for so long from home, family and friends, know that they are not forgotten and we support and appreciate them.
