Nightingale 0 #26 February 11, 2006 Last year, the first letter I got from my friend was four words long. "Thanks. Send more cookies." A longer letter followed explaining that for every guy that gets something, there are ten or twenty that don't, so he shared the cookies, and only ate one cookie out of four boxes. He said there's somthing about girl scout cookies that reminds him and his buddies of home, because even that far away, trefoils and do-si-dos still taste the same.* *if anyone's thinking about doing this, don't send the chocolate covered cookies. they melt.

warpedskydiver 0 #27 February 12, 2006 I have some suggestions for those who cannot serve but want to do something that actually helps out: Attention all skygods want to really help out? Get ahold of the military and volunteer to teach HALO out in AZ, or if you are closer to Ft. Benning maybe volunteer as a master rigger or jumpmaster therefore possibly freeing up an experienced soldier to go out and be able to do his job in the field. Attention all world class shooters you also can do the same and volunteer your time to the military as a shooting instructor in any form such as: Long Range shooting, Pistol, Shotgun, or Combat 3 gun shooting. Are you a martial arts person? Volunteer! Are you a scientist? Invent something! Explosives expert? World class rock climber? Engineer? Mechanical skills?....there are lots of broken things that need to be repaired Gunsmith? I mean I do not care if you are a damned chef...volunteer your time at a chow hall they deserve to eat as well as anyone. Doctor, Nurse, Physical Therapist? the VA needs help treating the severly wounded and or disabled. Are you Wealthy?...donate to the new Hospital they are building to treat amputees and the severly Disabled! Dog Trainer? Pilot? people need rides home etc. Car dealer? donate a car to a disabled vet that need a disabled adapted vehicle Carpenter?...how about modifying a crippled soldiers home!!! School Teacher? try tutoring those who need to be helped after a head injury. I am really tired of those who say I wish I could but then don't even look into it. For those of you who do go through the inconvenience of picking up the phone to make an effort please follow through and be persistant! Anyone who can make any difference at all please help now. THANKS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
