Planet members and their kids serving in Iraq and Afghanistan need our support.
I know of one member of Chiefs Planet getting ready to go to Afghaniastan. I know
another that has a son getting ready to deploy. Another that has a son already there. I propose that we raise money and ship some "goddies" over to the units where Chiefs Planet members or their kids are serving our country. To let them know they are not alone, that some of us back here in the USA appreciate their sacrifice and service.

I will personally pay all the shipping costs and coordinate the project.

I will pay all the paypal fees of the members who donate. If you donate $20 to buy goodies for the troops, $20 goes to the troops.

If you want to send a check, or some goodies yourself, donated items, PM me for a mailing address.

If you have a store that has items that would go in the care package and would sell those at cost and or donate, PM me.

100% of the money raised will go to purchase items for the troops. I will update this thread with the progress and post pictures of the "goodies" and items that will be shipped to the troops.

This is not a political thread or idea. The point is to support the Planet members or their kids on a personal level while they are voluntarily putting themselfs in harms way for us.

PM me for the paypal address. If you know of someone serving overseas, PM me and we will put them on the list to recieve a care package

Hey BRC,

A few days after my wife checked with her brother's wife about this package, he was injured in an IED attack and sent home for medical treatment. Today we learned that his driver and the guy who took his place were both killed by an IED. It's a tough job these guys have (both in terms of personal risk and also in terms of dealing with the loss of close friends).

Thanks again for all the support you facilitate!

In some of the worst times I've ever experienced, a small note or package surprising me made the difference between being depressed and feeling validated. Agree or not for the reasons we're there, coming together and supporting the troops with their boots on the ground is a profound statement, and it does not go un-noticed by the troops receiving the packages. Don't make fun of what I'm saying, never in my life has a simple gesture made me feel so good and happy to be an american. Keep donating if you feel inclined, it matters more than you know to the troops receiving it.

No thats okay, I don't know how many Cardinal fans are on the Planet that we have serving over in the sandbox but it can't be that many. I sent CrazyCoffey a book about sportsmans park. I guess we could send it to him when you get done with it....

Hey, thanks man! Very cool.

We have a skype call set up for this Sunday with him. Plus I believe Mrs. Inspector has given him a heads up.

Thanks to everyone here. You guys are A-OK in my book.

He was getting empty packages with hand slap letters, lately he has to go down and open them in front of Colonol Klink or ship them back....he's not doing that and none of them have come back yet.

His group have turned in vehicles and big weapons and are not really doing a damn thing....but that didn't stop them from shipping his ass back over to lift weights and play video games for 2 more months. No mail for any of them now.

bastards.

I was going to send a new package to Crazy Coffey but he's currently not with his unit so is there anyone out there that has a friend, family member that is serving over in the sandbox that would like to have a Planet care package sent to them? Let me know in here or privately if you want to keep it on the dow low.
