Piglet's Care Packages

[MM03MOK]

Here's my plan. I'm sure we can all make this work.

Cape Cod/MA will put together the first package, ironing out all the shipping and contents issues.

I ask that any other individual or group interested in queueing behind us, let me know via PM. I will create a Word docu.ment with all the details needed and will forward to one contact person for that group.

I will also post in this thread which groups have contacted me, first come, first served. If you're having a gathering, everyone can bring an item or two or even send a few dollars for items and postage.

Once I get all the details, we can determine how frequently the packages should be sent. I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities for him to share his goodies, too.

Remember: no posting of Piglet's name, address or location.

Ms. Piglet said, "It means the world to me that total strangers are so willing to extend a helping hand. I have been unbelievably touched by the support you all have shown."

It's a go!

Just received Piglet's FPO. See first post above.

Message from Ms. Piglet:

I'm not sure how long mail is taking to get to him these days. His email has been off for about a week......He won't be able to check in to the MM board for awhile. I know he would love to hear from some of his MM pals!

Thank you again for your support,
"Ms. Piglet"

Please add me to the list. I sent a PM when you posted this...but, unfortunately...I think it was to RF instead of you. He probably lost/forgot/deleted/whatevered it...

PM me with what I can send.

Thanks!

[MM03MOK]

Piglet's first package is on it's way!!

His address and mailing instructions are being sent to those that volunteered to send a little something his way. If anyone wants to send him a letter, please email me and I'll send his address along. Remember, no posting his address.

Hey All,

Greetings from Iraq. What I ride it has been. I am in the middle of a huge sand storm and visibility is down to less than 1/2 a mile. We are doing well; living in challenging conditions and flying conditions.

I am hopeful our time here will be quick. I can't wait to get back aboard the ships and head home. No telling how long that will be.

Thanks so much for the packages. I will keep an eye open for them. Mail takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. I just got my birthday package from my bride that she mailed in Feb two days ago.

We just got up on email and internet however it is slow and the lines are long to use it. I have used up all my time waiting for this login page to load.

Again thank you all for your love and support.

Piglet,

Great to hear from you! Our collective wish is you'll be home, behind the wheel before any package reaches you.

Keep up the good work and God Bless,

[LincMercLover]

Thank god he's still around! Hurry up and get your ass home! :up:

Hi all,

I am out of the sand and back on the ship. It is great to be back, hot shower, hot food and a clean rack (bed). I wanted to thank RF Overload and MM03Mok for the care package. It was great to get it. It was much appreciated. The location where we were operating out of was very austere and receiving a care package really brightened up the day. I shared it with my fellow Marines and can't thank you enough for the package.

I have a few pictures I would like to have posted here on the website if possible. If I could email them to someone that could get them posted I would appreciate it. Also for RF Overlord and MM03Mok I have some pictures for you as well. They are of me and your "Old Glory" in Iraq. I just need to get your email address. Please send your email address to bigiron@ec.rr.com and my bride will forward them to me.

Again thanks to all of you for your prayers and support.

PIGLET -

Members have more packages on their way to your FPO. We'll stop mailing more.

SO good to hear from you. I'd be glad to post your pics. Mrs. Piglet has my email address but I'll send it again.

Hi all,

Just wanted to thank SergntMac for the awesome care package. It was great to receive it. Thanks for all the goodies especially the two hatpins. Thanks also to MM03MOK and Overload for facilitating the delivery.

I am on the ship heading home. Our arrival date is still up in the air. Hopefully we will soon have a date.

I am looking forward to getting back to my bride, MM and taking some leave. Thanks again for all your prayers and words of encouragement.
