Troop Packs #4 and #5 en route!

[njstone]

Brothers, the next 2 Troop Packages are away! Package #4 is going out to a friend of Mitch and #5 to a friend of eodcole. Both of these soldiers are in Forward Operations Bases--i.e. they are on the front lines living in crappy tents and seldom make it onto a larger encampment to purchase things. These are the guys more in need of our generosity!

This is the LAST WEEK to send in donations for the http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php?t=22190
If at all possible, please try to ship anything you plan to send no later than this Saturday. I want to be sure that the final package gets to the Troops by Christmas! We're out of everything right now, and as usual, we're specifically in dire need of water pillows/Bovedas, and it would be great to get a cutter in the next package as well.

Here are a couple pics, About the same number of cigars but light on the other items compared to the previous shipments, but I shipped everything I had

Here's an idea from another Bro--If you want to make donations but don't have anything on-hand that you want to send, you can always place an order at CI, Famous, or another online place and have it shipped directly to me. A couple people have done that now and it's worked great.

But again, whatever you might decide to do, please do it IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS!!

Thanks!

Sweet, Jake. I'll be on the lookout!

There are a couple of things on their way now, but there is still plenty of room in this final package!

Finaly got a letter from Tom who's running a field hospital in Baghdad, his package made it safe and sound and was a huge hit withthem and the 191 MP Company at the small base. They are doing OK, but it's rough keeping the spirits up, they get sniper fire, RPG's and the random mortar round, and spend all kind of hours patching up wounded. Thanks from the troops and tom to all that helped and thanks from me to all the BOTL that helped make this happen.

Please let me know the next time that this is done. I would really love to be a part of it. It would be an honor & privilege to help out some soldiers!

Awesome! Thanks for the follow-up, Mitch! Great to hear that it could brighten up the guys day a bit. I wasn't a lot, but at least we could all do something. Thanks again to all the Bros that made this happen!
