[/ QUOTE ] Uhh, If you were aware of what Doug, Kristie, members of JC, and others did to get this to come together, you would understand why it is still here. There may be the flame wars and disagreements here, but this forum/idea just goes to show when it comes down to it there are a great bunch of people here. Also, if you ever do serve in the military you will understand the importance of a project like this and what it means to the military members serving their country away from home. Yes the project is done, but there is no reason for it to go away. It is a great reminder of what a group of people can do when they set their minds to it. That's All For Now Folks ! |

| Re: What will happen to this forum? Geez, chill! I was just asking. I know you guys did a great job and the only reason I didn't help was because I didn't come to these forums when it was going on. |

| Big Chief's Woman  | Re: What will happen to this forum? Why wouldn't we still have it here.... that was a BIG accomplishment all around and everyone deserves to remember how they pitched in and really made it work!! Doug and I have been talking about it ever since... besides, we're looking for another company to sponsor this year - anyone have a friend/family member or know a company that could use some goodies this year? This time - we're starting early!!!! that way, the boxes get there on time!!  |

He is a flight instructor at the flight school where I work, and is who I did my training for my commercial single and multiengine with. If you are looking for a group to set this up for again, I would be more than willing to help, and would love to help do the same thing for his Marine Reserve unit from Missouri. |

| Re: What will happen to this forum? I too have a good friend over there as well in the army.... returned about a month back but had his time off cut short and will be shipping out again soon. I can send you his information if you guys wanted it. In a way I kinda feel weird doing it because we all probably know a handful of people that are all equally deserving !! on a side note... one of my co-workers brother was a life'r with the Navy and was set to retire after 30 years the beginning of September. He had been state side for the past two years in DC but got the news friday he was to shipping out sunday morning for Saudi Arabia for his last three months of service !! |

Keep in mind - we can't send to APO addresses because it'll have to go thru the base and we want to bypass the base since it's on "their" time and not ours... |
