We have had hundreds of new soldiers signing up! We had one group of 700!!
PLEASE help me!
We need to contact schools and churches, we have soldiers wanting mail from schools and scout troops!
Call your radio stations and newspapers! Tell them about your experience!!
The third deployment has begun and we are having soldiers tell the new ones about our dedication!!
WE NEED HELP!! If OSB is going to continue we need to recuit more adopters!
Here is a sample of the requests we have recieved:
Hello Vicki, let me first thank you for your e-mail. And I also want to thank you for all that you do for the deployed soldiers. I am a soldier deployed to Kuwait for a year. My base is only XX miles from the Iraqi border. I should hopefully be back by Jan 2006. My work here mostly has to do with Military Pay and Finance. We are in need of Tactical items such as Wiley-Xs, Under Armour, CamelBaks, JE Kneepads and other tactical items. We are a finance unit deployed to Kuwait therefore we were not issued any of these items. But it's all still necessary here. Other than that just items to boost morale such as DVDs, books, phone cards, snacks, etc. would also be great. I do love watching Hollywood movies. It is the best way to relax and get much needed enjoyment here. I also have few soldiers here that are from an Indian background, myself including, so if it is at all possible to get hold of some Bollywood (Hindi) movies, it would be great. Also I would love to be the point of contact for the kids from schools that would like to adopt the soldiers from my unit.
Once again I would like to thank you and want you to know that all your help and efforts is very much appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Sgt. XXXX
We need to spread the word, encourage friends and family to adopt, and seek donations !
Thank You for everything each of you do, it does not go unappreciated!!
