Yes, I am doing it again. By request.

I have received numerous PM's asking when I am going to setup another donation thread to send more care packages over to the troops. Well, I guess there is no time like the present.

I have done a couple in the past with great success. This one is going to be a little different.

This time I am personally going to pay all the shipping costs myself. That way all of the money donated will be used for the contents of the packages and not for shipping.

I am shooting for 10 packages, at $30 a pop. I am going to send 1/2 to my sons squad in Afghanistan and the other 1/2 sfcallens ( a member here ) men.

That is $300 in donations and $89.50 in postage, which I will pay 100% of.

As always donations will be made through my paypal account which is mholtum@gmail.com. Please put "Donation from "username" " in the comment field.

Heres to this one being as successful as the past two.. Remember, even the smallest donation makes a difference.

God Bless.

Thank You Vonzorfox! It is much appreciated!!

After re-reading my original post, it makes it seem like I am soliciting $30 donations. This is not the case, if you wish to that is awesome, but as stated every $1 counts.

**Vonzorfox** · 02-24-2008, 11:18 PM

No problem it's the least I can do for them. I didn't read it as you asking for $30.00 donations. You did write "Remember, even the smallest donation makes a difference" in the first post. I'm just glad to help out.

**fshfanatic** · 02-24-2008, 11:30 PM

Regardless, I appreciate it but only a small percentage of how much they do..

Tax refund time folks....share a little of that "wealth" with someone else.....!

Email I recieved today:

Hey Greg and Mike Holtum,

We just received your packages and we are all thrilled. You guys really surprised us. Getting mail is always a good thing for soldiers especially when it is stuff you need. So on behalf of all the soldiers for D Troop 2-17 CAV, Task Force Outfront, Thank you guys so much.

Greg, I really miss you bro. We are doing ok. We just moved into B-huts. The 1SG is working on how to mail your stuff back to you. Thanks for everything man.

Take care guys. Thanks again.

SFC Godfrey Freeman

Man that's great to hear.

**Orlando** · 02-27-2008, 07:35 PM

Thats way cool....

**fshfanatic** · 02-28-2008, 12:51 AM

I got the same email. Gave me goose bumps. I cant even begin to think what it would feel like to get packages form people I dont even know.

God Bless them and hold them close to bring them all home safe.

Common Guys/Gals, kick down a couple / few bucks for those that are serving this great country of ours. They need the support.

**fshfanatic** · 02-28-2008, 11:09 PM

THANK YOU frozenbarb!

Come on people, this is a great cause... These guys really appreciate everything we send them...
