Supporting our deployed troops
Connie Riecke, Marine Mom and exec director of the Marine Corps Family Foundation sent along this appeal:
It never ceases to amaze me...Marines that is. I recently asked an Marine commander what we could ship to his 1100 Marines. It wasn't Game Boys, or a big screen TV, or IPODS. No it was the same request that I received so many years before. I mean five years ago I got the same kind of answer. My son, my Marine asked for the same items, his Marine buddies asked for the same stuff during their deployments and each year my deployed contacts ask for these same items. They are the basics. So, here is the list:Soap
Toothpaste/Toothbrush
Deodorant
Shaving Cream
Razors
Laundry Detergent
Books
New/used DVDs
Socks (black or green wool)
Snacks (sealable)
How basic is that! Some things just don't change! So to all those people and communities who want to show their support contact me and I will give you an address to ship the basics for a sustainable deployment for a US Marine. It's simple, inexpensive but unattainable in the wilderness of Afghanistan...Email me at info@marinecorpsfamilyfoundation.org and I will help you ship a box of necessities today!
