I’ve been blessed, once again, with a great group of kids in my Religious Education class. They’re so good that I’ve decided we need to do some interesting, fun projects. Our first project is writing letters to Marines in Iraq who haven’t received any letters or packages since they got there. 😦 It melts my heart to read what the kids write. Their letters are so sweet and funny. Some of the children have dads who are there right now so their letters are especially long and full of questions.
We’re going to pull one name from a hat and send that person a care package. Some ideas for a package includes: warm socks, snack foods, sugarless gum, disposable cameras, batteries, razor blades, foot care products, sanitizing hand wipes, warm knit hats, DVDs, music CDs, etc. If anyone is so inclined to send a letter or care package, here’s a list of names and the address:
- Cpl. Nathan Kuschel (letter and box sent)
- Cpl. Harold Spencer
- Cpl. Hector Soto
- Cpl. Gerardo Avalos
- Cpl. Victor Emelife
- Cpl. Jason Riley (letter sent)
- Cpl. Eugene Swaine
- Cpl. Gerald Mcdoom
- Cpl. Michael Haufe (letter sent)
- Lance Cpl. Lorenzo Toney
- Lance Cpl. Samuel Pacheco
- Lance Cpl. Coleman Lanki
- Sgt. Reginald Gibbons (letter sent)
- Capt Christopher Westerheide (letter sent)
The U.S. Post Office has flat-rate boxes which cost $8.10 to mail and can be filled to capacity. Packages and letters can be sent to:
9th Comm BN HQCO Supply
Unit 42570
FPO, AP 96426 2570
Most people reading this post know all to well about care packages and how much they mean to the soldiers. If you have any other ideas for what we might put in the package, let me know.
Great idea and I’m glad you included the names .I will be glad to send a package or two.
