Welcome to 4 Our Military!!

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Michelle and I am an avid supporter of our Military. Here, I will be blogging about everything I have going on in the way of supporting our troops. If you too are involved in supporting our troops, I would love to hear what you are doing in your community. For the past three years, I have been a volunteer for an organization called 'Adopt A US Soldier'. They are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that allows you to sign up to "adopt" a soldier that is deployed and in need of some support. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. Please direct all mail to MDawn213@aol.com. Thank you all for your support!!

Project Frontlines (Project #1 that I am currently working on)

Project Frontlines is one of the two projects that I am currently working on. This was started by Kylie Johnson and Mark Klodzinski. We then worked together and have made it an official part of 'Adopt A US Soldier'. What is Project Frontlines? We have a unit in Afghanistan that is in a very remote location. Through Project Frontlines, these men and women in uniform will receive donations from supporters around the world. For more information or to donate, please visit the Adopt A US Soldier website. We have just received a HUGE donation of 1,500 bags of coffee and it is going to cost A LOT to ship over to our troops. PLEASE consider donating for shipping costs. Every amount counts!

A day of packing

Good evening/morning everyone! It's about 1:30 a.m here and we are just finishing up packing for the night. Earlier tonight, we started to pack and seperate the donations we received last week. We packed 4 boxes for Project Frontlines and then we were off to the the FRG meeting to drop off about 5 boxes of stuff for the returning single soldiers of the 3rd ID. I have to say that AFTER the FRG meeting, we had a pretty productive meeting with some of the ladies. I have some more things that I want to get done for our returning heroes and some more things I would like to try to get. The following are things we are looking for; Pillows, sheets (twin size, no girl colors), shower curtains & rings, toilet paper, paper towels, and general groceries (condements, cereal, etc.). If you know of any resources to have any of these items donated, please let me know.

On another note, we have received two more donations to help ship out some of these boxes to project frontlines.
THANK YOU KRISTI ALLEN & KATIE EWELL
Your donations will help boost the morale of our heroes overseas as well as giving them a little bit of home.

Tomorrow will be a long and busy day. Lots on the schedule...LOTS of phone calls to make. Hope everyone has a great week!

Michelle & Meg
