Greeting for our Troops!
Hello everyone! My DH left for Iraq Saturday with the 101st (this is his third deployment). I know that others send cards to troops and I would like to spread that love. My plan is to send blank cards to my husbands unit to help keep the communication flow between soldiers and their families. Any and all occasion cards are needed. I plan to send the first shipment by Oct. 24th. If anyone has a few extras or time to make a few I know they would be much appreciated. You can mail them to me at:
Jen Alonso
2001 B Shanahan Drive
Fort Campbell, KY 42223
Thank you all for your support!

Jen,
I went through my stash and pulled 20 cards to send--it's a start. They range from birthday cards for kids to Christmas cards. They'll be on their way to you soon.
Hugs!

Hi Jen!
I keep a master list of card drive threads in the Need a Lift forum.
If you start a thread there with the info in your first post, I'll add it to the list. . .
Good luck on your drive! |

My brother left on Saturday with the 101st also.. his third deployment as well. My other brother is leaving in January for his third deployment, but he is going to Afghanistan. I am going to pass along your name/info to my mom and sister in law.. they both live in Clarksville. Pam

Just to make sure that I am reading correctly when you say "blank cards" - you mean you do not want any sentiments inside? (So that they can use them as note cards?) Do you want sentiments on the outside?
I'll try to get at least a few in the mail to you sometime soon. My DH is going to a Penn State game in a couple weeks - could be a good day to concentrate on something like that  |

Either way is fine. I've been doing a little of both. I've also received some with and without.
Thank you!

You're welcome. DH just retired from 20 years in the Air Force, most of it flying B-1 bombers as an I-WSO. But he spent 2 years as a jump ALO with the 75th Ranger Regiment out of Ft. Benning. Our respect for the men and women on the ground grew immeasurably during that time. I am happy and honored to be able to do something for them. |

Hello! I'm about an 45-hour south of Ft.Campbell. I would love to send some cards to you. I'll check my stash today and see what I come up with. May have to play today and make some new ones too!
Any more thought on if you'll be getting together to make up some cards. I'd love to join if you do!
Have a great day! __________________ Kelsey- wife, daughter, sister, friend, & stamper

Thank you! As for the get together that was a passing thought but if enough people in the area are interested I'd love to. My home is always open to a day of crafting. I have enough table space for 6. Once the kids and I make it through this adjustment period I'll look into posting a thread about a get together. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks again! __________________ JEN [CENTER][FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=yellowgreen][COLOR=teal] |

Jen, my nephew also left Sat. with the 101st. This will be his third tour also. I've already started a box of cards to send to his group. It is wonderful that you're reaching out to help make their stay a little easier... if that is at all possible. May God bless each and every one of them. No one can imagine, without talking to them, what pure hell they live thru 24-7 over there (never one moment of peace). My prayers are continuous for their safety and for all the pain and suffering their families endure without them.
Thank you, Sandi
