Planet members and their kids serving in Iraq and Afghanistan need our support.
I know of one member of Chiefs Planet getting ready to go to Afghaniastan. I know
another that has a son getting ready to deploy. Another that has a son already there. I propose that we raise money and ship some "goddies" over to the units where Chiefs Planet members or their kids are serving our country. To let them know they are not alone, that some of us back here in the USA appreciate their sacrifice and service. I will personally pay all the shipping costs and coordinate the project. I will pay all the paypal fees of the members who donate. If you donate $20 to buy goodies for the troops, $20 goes to the troops. If you want to send a check, or some goodies yourself, donated items, PM me for a mailing address. If you have a store that has items that would go in the care package and would sell those at cost and or donate, PM me. 100% of the money raised will go to purchase items for the troops. I will update this thread with the progress and post pictures of the "goodies" and items that will be shipped to the troops. This is not a political thread or idea. The point is to support the Planet members or their kids on a personal level while they are voluntarily putting themselfs in harms way for us. PM me for the paypal address. If you know of someone serving overseas, PM me and we will put them on the list to recieve a care package Quote:

A few days after my wife checked with her brother's wife about this package, he was injured in an IED attack and sent home for medical treatment. Today we learned that his driver and the guy who took his place were both killed by an IED. It's a tough job these guys have (both in terms of personal risk and also in terms of dealing with the loss of close friends). Thanks again for all the support you facilitate! NAME EDITED Quote:
