Yes, Maryellen is right about that photo.
A Navy mom sent that to me Thanksgiving weekend 2009 and said "Sue, I think that soldier needs a special pillowcase."
Dori did the research on the photo and found that it was of a unit heading to Afghanistan AND they had been at Ft Hood the day of the terrorist attack.
Maryellen took on the big job of seeing if we could adopt that unit. The rest is history. ME, do you know off the top of your head how many pcs we have mailed to those Ft Hood units that were there that terrible day? I have the info, but it would take me a few days before I can compile it.
Please add Gwen for 50 and Arlene for 30 in wave 1. We might be able to do this in 2 waves.

MaryEllen,
Sign me up for 25 pcs for the 3rd wave. I'll be in Florida from just after the new year until the 15th of Jan. So, the 3rd wave will work for me.

mailed so far: Ginnie 20 and Patty B 45
Susan S is mailing 30, Arlene 60, Sue L (me) 25, Maryellen 30. Waiting for confirmation on Debbi M, Cabbage Rose, Gwen
Betty F is moved to wave 2 and she will mail 36.
Also in wave 2 is: Ethel, Terry D, Cindy S, Brenda P-25, Linda S - 25-30, Betty N, Janie
Thanks to all!

I will be sending it out Ally.
Did you check into getting the game box from USPS? Did I tell you about them?
They are a rectangle shape. I just packed my 36 plus candy and some lessons into one. I pack them in groups of 3. I seal 1 end, and put each group into a plastic grocery bag so I can slide it in real easy, just in
case I need to make an adjustment.
The most I have gotten in was 43 but there is another gal who gets 45 in. It ships for the same $13.45.
www.usps.com They are free also and you can order them online. Check it out.
Mailed by 12-31 also is Susan S-30 and Debbi M - 50
