Remember to start writing your cards of encouragement now, and if you have any younger kids at home who like to draw, keep them busy!

<p>I am getting more information from Molly's Adopt a Sailor for the Aug. 20th packing party. Quite excited! Remember to start writing your cards of encouragement now, and if you have any younger kids at home who like to draw, keep them busy! Nothing makes those deployed more happy than getting a "boatload" of hand written notes and cards decorated from the heart. Right now, please go to your post office and ask for a small stack of the LARGE flat rate military boxes, customs forms and the sticky plastic holders for the customs forms. Will also need priority mail tape or clear plastic tape. Lots of stickers for cards and boxes. I'll have the requests of what that month's group needs soon. </p>
