Thanks Karen for supporting such a great group. I also want to remind you that Molly's Adopt a Sailor is helping 250 of our troops in Afghanistan. Be sure and look up that group page for more information, or contact me for details.

Go Navy Moms and send that love!

Karen - no words. But a question: You are sending these pictures with the packages? When those troops see that picture right below - tears will be flowing and oh how their hearts will be filled with joy. Now that is a true picture of the statement - Support the Troops! Pat yourself on the back = you earned it. TLynn

Karen and her daughter like playing with me. I know the secret life of holding a Molly secret. Wait till you see the pix that Karen has about what has already been collected! You will be blown away!!!! We <3 you Karen and friends!!!

Navy 101--you will get info on the PIR on the website you should have. We stayed overnight. We thought about the crockpot and home made food--but our sailor was SO tired, his biggest need was to drain the hot water tank at the hotel for a private shower with real shampoo and liquid soaps.
We ate out and we also ordered in pizza.

Definitely join Molly's page if you have not already. But here is the adoption information.

During the Holiday Season this year we have received a “special warm request” from a group of Seabees-YES, I said Seabees, in Afghanistan! The request came from the Battalion Chaplain of NMCB 74. The Chaplain says that they have Seabees in several locations around Afghanistan. He is hoping to do two things this Christmas-geez..Only 2, we can do MORE!

1) Have a smore roast by a campfire-singing Christmas carols and sharing Christmas stories of HOME.

2) He would like to have stockings to hand to his troops.
Moms, we want to send all the “warmth” and “Love” of Christmas to all 250 SEABEES

Now moms, are your hearts melting YET? Well, let’s get busy!
However, before you dash out the door, hear this!
We have had “some” VERY busy elf’s here!
Knit for the Navy Group has been busy knitting away at scarves
Heads at Ease has been busy sewing away at stockings.
A HUGE Thank You to "Lyn Love" who coordinated all our “crafty” Navy Moms!

We are looking for the "Warmth and L♥ve" that comes from “HOME” at Christmas time!
So think WARM, IT BRRRRRRRRRRR freezing in Afghanistan.
So think Stockings, we have to stuff all those stockings!
Think WARM, lets keep our Sailors warm and toasty!

I would also like to give a shout out to “UNO’s Grille” in Kissimmee Florida-UNO’s is accepting donations for Molly’s Adopt a Sailor and in return they are giving out a coupon for a FREE appetizer! Boy, where does it end! We have such an outpouring of support from all over! It’s NOT over yet!
Let’s hear it for our Illinois’ Moms who on their own is taking on another special group of 60 in Iraq this holiday season! The love never ENDS!!!!!

As Always, Please use our Molly’s Adopt a Sailor Labels on all items! Mailing Dates on November 27-December 5th, so let's start the HOLIDAY PARTY

I have one last think I would like to add!
I am a mom of a sailor aboard USS Rodney M. Davis, which was adopted last holiday season by Molly’s Adopt a Sailor. I could NEVER begin to explain how I felt knowing that my son’s ship was receiving all the love that Molly’s Moms have and MORE. The day the BAGS of mail arrived aboard the Davis my son just so happen to be there with our “contact” CMC Smith! Well let’s just say, Cannot repeat what came out of the CMC’s mouth! Shock and Awe, should explain it! My son called me a few hours later letting me know the mail was dropped and dropped big. My son received over 15 cards that Christmas and he read them repeatedly! He said “Mom it gets pretty lonely on this small” ship; So, I am “Paying it forward” Molly’s Moms Style!


PS-thanks Molly, it was about time you let me do this! L♥VE YOU SISTA!!!!

Hi
I think it is a northern group whom we need to get on this page. I'll try and track them down so we can connect and add to the love. It's a SEABEE group in Afghanistan. Here's the link.

Hey, I just saw on "Molly's Adopt A Sailor" that Illinois Moms are doing their own Christmas group. Come on, give me the details!! Who is the Christmas elf from Illinois???????????

Here is one of the thank you notes--please realize we leave the military person's and camp site out for security.

yes we did receive the packages. The crew had a great time opening them. I have some pictures....unfortunately I did not get pictures of everyone because I ran out of battery.

The crew is crazy...so don't be surprised with what you see. The packages came from so many places. It was great to read out who and where they were from. They were saying thank you out loud for every package.

I am really grateful and my crew is also grateful to everyone of your volunteers...this made a bad day, believe me it could not of been worse than what it was yesterday, if you know what I mean, when we received a few more packages. Yesterday was a very hard day for all of us emotionally, but receiving the thank you letters and special thank you pictures. They were really nice and are posted on all the clinic cork boards.

Susan, please forward this email and pics to the moms that sent the packages. I wish I knew all their emails, but I know you know how to get it to them.

Thank you again and God Bless all of you.
