Our grandson was in the first wave into Bagdad. He started his military career back as an enlisted man; 8 years as a medic in 82nd Airborne. He got out, wnet to college and reenlisted as a 2nd LT; while in Bagdad he made Captain and should be pretty close to becoming a major now.
His wife is a Captain in the 82nd and served in Afghansitan. They now have a beautiful baby girl and are both stateside for the time being. Grandma and I are very pround of both of them.

Thinking all that man/woman power could be better used in the Gulf of Mexico.
Just another proud father who wishes better for his/her child.

Robert is back in th states but there are many still over seas who would love to get a package from "home". do a google search for supporting the troops and you can find some info. also you can call your local National Guard to get names or palces to send things. the post office has a flat rate APO box for about $10 or so. you can fill it and send it out. we did this a while back and Robert posted pixs of the soldiers. it was wonderful to see the smiles.
please don't turn this old thread into a hate thread as it was done with love and should stay that way. thre are palce to call each other names and I hope you don't turn this into one of them
thanks

what are you blabbing about? this was a thread posted back in 2009 to let people know the address of a signs101 member who was overseas and was getting stuff together for our troops. we have people far from home in the military and sending a little bit of home to them and letting them know that we care is the only thing this is about. if you don't support the war so what, a lot of us aren't thrilled with it either but that has nothing to do with supporting our troops. if you have no interest in sending some chocolate, chap sticks, cards and stuff like this to a solider, then don't. just rag on about your issues. BTW, what have you done for your own troops? maybe you should do something instead of crapping on us who care.

Marlene I applaud your enthusiasm and while you may think I am babbling, sorry I don't see the point in war especially when there are bigger issues to deal with on home turf.
I ask myself for example, Pat Tillman who had it all, only to throw it all away to be gunned down by friendly fire, who sends him chocolates?

kgirl, considering people are struggling to keep hold onto their homes, while Obama bailed out the financial and auto industry ... you want to kick me in the nuts? Less we forget what's currently happening in Louisiana?
Of course I do not live near a Top Gun base though I did enjoy my time in La Jolla.
Maybe I can send you a Rose, chocolate are passe?

Hey sjm, If you know anything about soldiers, you will know that they follow a higher command and do what is asked of them. Your beef isn't with the soldiers, its with those in charge. However this thread is not about those in charge, It is about supporting our troops. Please don't ruin that by making this political. If you want to argue about the bigger decisions and those that make those decisions, head on over to NHB and make your point. But let's keep this thread from being dragged into the NHB and stay on subject.

Joe is that the point of this thread, seeing soldiers arrive back home in body bags?
I think it's simple mind your own business. The world will look after itself it doesn't need a policeman.
This week we've lost two Royal Marines from 40 commando and just yesterday two riflemen from the Mercian Regiment.
Imagine patrolling through Helmand knowing every step might trigger an IED which will take off your legs or kill you and most of your mates? Imagine being in a compound when the Taliban have surrounded you and are throwing everything including the kitchen sink at you? Ammunition is running low and you're in danger of being overrun.
I hate politicians as much as anyone else but politicians and the people doing the fighting and dying are two separate issues... lions led by donkeys.

The very reason this isn't happening on your street at home is the fact that those guys are over there containing the violence away from the home front,...if the taliban could bring it to your street instead of thier's they'd do it in a New York minute,..or er they did try once,....never forget 9-11
