SOLDIER'S AID SOCIETY



NEW MESSAGE, 1-16-09
  O.K. Guys, yall did great, between the both of us we shipped 47 packages to our brave Soldiers, Airmen and Marines this Christmas. With a great start like that why stop now? They still need our support, they are still in harms way and I can think of no good reason to stop. I am determined to send at least one package a week all year long. If you would like to help just jump in. The guys really appreciated the packages. I'm going to leave the Christmas motif up on the web page because Christmas will be here again before you know it and I'm a little on the lazy side, O.K. a lot on the lazy side. From them and from me a please accept this heartfelt Thank you!

  In the true spirit of the great Soldier's Aid Societies who have come before us we feel that we here at Blockade Runner Inc. should step up and do our best to help those Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who are far from home and in harms way. They have volunteered to protect our freedom, our job is to give them all the comfort and support we can. The USO tells us that donations to their organization are down this year. We hope to inspire you to give by giving ourselves.
  With that in mind we are currently boxing up 20 "we care" packages to send to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. We've ask our friends who have recently returned from sandland what the guys and gals would like to have. Here's what they told us: beef jerky, peanuts and other non perishable snacks. Mints and gum of all types. Playing cards and trashy paper back novels along with DVDs. The guys who are not in combat often have access to DVD players and game systems. Some have also requested small stuffed animals, they give them to the local kids and of course a Christmas Card.

  The photo above is our basic package. They vary slightly from one to the next but you get the idea. The average cost is about $11. and shipping is running the same for a total of $22. If you would like to help us make their Christmas a little brighter then just click on the BUY NOW button below. The cost is just $20. and you will make some soldiers day. If you have the name and APO address of a soldiers overseas please give us that information in the "Notes" section of the "BUY Now" page. If you don't have anyone in particular you want your package sent to. We will pick a name off of our Christmas Card list. Of course we will put yours or any ones else's name on the card. In each package I send I'm putting the name of one my family members who served in previous wars, like my dad. So the card will read, "From John P. Smith, U.S. Army, WW II Vet." so forth and so on.

  If you have a soldier who is currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan or at sea in support of either theater, then send us their name and APO address.

  If we've inspired you to send a few care packages of your own, well that's even better. You will also find the contact info for several other organizations, USO, Marine Moms etc. You can send them a donation if you like. We don't care who you send it to just give! We all sleep warm and snug in our beds every night because these guys and gals are the best in the world at their job. Let's remind them just how much we appreciate them.

If $20 is too much for you to give, or you would like to send your big brother or sister a card just from you. Email us the Name and APO address of the soldier. We will send them a Christmas card from you. We will include your short personal message in the card. The names we get from the Christmas Cards will go on our list for "We Care Packages"
