Just to let everyone know-My husband called-finally

[Solly Mack]

He's doing well. He's out of Karbala but most of the company is still there. He sounded good and asked for more powdered milk-I send it and he gives it to the Iraqis. I collect donations of the milk and jugs to send-along with cereals and peanut butter.

Thanks to everyone again for their kind words.

I'm greatly relieved.

3. Wonderful news, Solly Mack.

I am certain he was happy to hear your voice as well.

4. Good for both of you. Tell me, honey. Can we send him things?

I hate that they are hungry, thirsty and miserable.

RV, very happy for you. And sad for whomever it wasn't.
If you know what I mean, love.

[Solly Mack]

5. That's very kind of you to ask

We do have soldiers, single ones, who are without family...so they get few care packages and the married soldiers try and share.. or the spouses send boxes just for the single soldiers.

The soldiers would love to hear from people..they feel they've been forgotten because far too many believe "the war is over."

7. if you can tell us how we can send stuff to the single guys...

please let us know.

My heart breaks when I hear the deprivations these young folk are going through.

[Solly Mack]

8. I can PM or Email you the info on "how-to"

Right now, our company is without a PX and are eating fish and octopus 7 days a week...and MRE's for a change of taste. Being without a PX means they rely solely on care packages.

Thank you! You're very kind!

13. wonder if you could start a thread somewhere

or some way we can find out how to send stuff to the guys over there....
Maybe some good things to send...its gotta be so hard......

I am so glad you heard from your sweetie....:hug:

My heart goes out to all the guys over there ....I remember Viet Nam and knowing it wasn't the choice of so so many to be there...yet there they were....
please tell them we support them and want them to come home safe ASAP!

Glad your husband is safe....

Peace
