Lynn - I have a 3rd grade class doing something similar, writing letters to the recruits who might not get any mail. They should be done and sent in time for Christmas. I'm sure most of the kids will be talking about what they want, or are doing, for Christmas, and will probably add a picture of the event, too! I hope the recruits like it.

I have a challenge for you...this menopausal insomnia might be my death yet...lol
Twas the month before Christmas and all through the Navy for Moms site
Family members were fretting no Christmas for Recruits just ain’t right!
So, they all gathered in their PIR groups to figure out what they could do
To insure each and every recruit got a taste of the holiday spirit too!
The rooms were all a buzz with ideas and thoughts galore
When Navy for Moms get together you never know what’s in store!
The planning, the chatting, and the conniving had only just begun
When they realized that their options left out many kinds of fun.
So quicker than an F-18 bursting from the carrier across the sky,
The PIR members rallied with a Hooyah Navy for Moms cry!
They made cards for the division and every recruit
And sent them to their loved one…like a package of loot!
The instructions were clear and concise to their recruit when sent.
Christmas would follow no matter where in the Navy they went.
There was one for each RDC and every good little recruit.
Because we know Christmas is about family and this year it’s at boot!!
I hope you will use this time to get together in your divisions...get cards ready...find out how many are in the divisions and make sure every single one of them gets a holiday card...you can do it....then you can each send so many to each of your recruits and pass them out from Navy for Moms...it will be a Christmas they will never forget...and neither will you!!

Good Morning Everybody! Here's to a Happy Mail day! I hope 51 gets mail today, or at least that they would be the first for the phone call home.
