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/
