i will not take much of your time here. i dont know what everyones view on the war is or nor do i care. christmas is coming up and it can be the best time of the year or the worst. coming from a soldier in the army i can tell you it is alot of the time the worst for us. we spend alot of time from home as it is and it is never easier waking up everyday when you miss the people you love and care for. but christamas is especially bad for us if we dont get to make it home because it is the time of year for family and friends. so this is what i want. when you are filling out christmas cards this year show your support send a card to us. my unit will have a bulletin board up with all kinds of christmas cards up from familys and friends of our 1000+ soldiers so if you like send one:

C/O PFC. Knabe, Adam C.
3-4 CAV Bldg 651
Box# 66
Schofield Barracks, HI 96857

or if you really wanna be awesome

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20307-5001

these guys need more than anything because they have been wounded in the war and might not even make it to christmas. freedom is not free. thank you for your time. i am not preaching or trying for attention. i am just doin whats right. - Giggs

Wow... good catch.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center officials want to remind those individuals who want to show their appreciation through mail to include packages, letters, and holiday cards addressed to 'Any Wounded Soldier' or 'A Recovering American Soldier' that Walter Reed cannot accept these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense.

In addition, the U.S. Postal Service is no longer accepting "Any Service Member" or "A Recovering American Soldier" letters or packages. Mail to "Any Service Member" that is deposited into a collection box will not be delivered.

The USO is the best way to go.

That is the douchiest thing I have ever seen posted on this site, and I'm not a big fan of the military.

Get off your high horse. My husband is in the army, and he's going to be going back to Iraq for the 2nd time just in time to be there for Christmas, and leaving me alone for over a year. This will be his 4th deployment, and he's never fired a weapon in combat, so to lump all soldiers and call them murderers, is the bitchiest thing to do ever.

I also have many friends in various branches of the military. Most of whom have never fired a weapon in combat, and some of whom have saved the lives of both fellow soldiers and the civilians in where ever they are fighting.

I really want to say worse things to you, but I already know I'm not as ignorant as you are, and therefore, I am not going to slump down to your level.

Fucking do some research instead of forming an opinion that makes you look and sound like, well, a jerk. All Soldiers =/= to murderers... You don't know what it's like.

Getting the thread back on track (whats her name's post really isn't worth responding to, she's an ass and we all know it):

I know this isn't exactly the same, but I donated to Toys for Tots for Service Members. Here's the link for Marine Toys for Tots foundation. Basically, Toys are donated to the children of men overseas or for those who would otherwise be unable to afford them.

[And Happy--it wasn't a hoax, it just sounds like it's a practice that's being discontinued due to confusion and or security concerns.]

I apologise to any one who I've offended.
Personally, I feel that anyone who contributes to the English or American armed forces in the state of our world these days is contributing to murder. Be it through pulling a trigger, contributing money, creating the weapons, etc. It's all the same to me.
There is no question what that war was over, and in my books, it was slaughter for greed.
Yet, I do realise I put that rather calously, in a small minded manner and to group all people that happen to be serving their years into one catogory is wrong.
No one came to welcome the English soldiers home, now the press is in a frenzy trying to get people to respect them for what they have done.
Personally, I can not and that spiteful message was more of a dig at that.
Though I can not apologise enough for not taking into account that these are real people with real families that I am calling murderers.

i'm glad that it's so easy to place blame in your world. unfortunately, in my reality, it's a little less black and white.

was the war right? probably not, and yes, i agree that it was probably initiated for all the wrong reasons.

that being said, those who started this fight are not the ones who are taking the brunt of the load. it's a complex issue that is obviously not easily solved by any one person, and by stating this, you are demeaning a whole hell of a lot of people, soldiers and citizens.

again, i don't support the war. i do support the people who are being asked to face unimaginable difficulties in a place that they never wanted to go for some dick headed texan's vengeful fantasy.

if you think this way, fine. just don't post it here. you'll just end up sounding naive and uniformed, and pissing off a lot of people.

I really really want to tell you to go "eff" yourself, but I won't.

Just keep in mind that most of the soldiers who are fighting this DON'T want to be there.

Stop being such a dink. I honestly hope someone you love enlists so you can know how it feels, and how it all works. You're too ignorant to get it otherwise.

I also want to add... This thread is supposed to be about helping others. Who in their right mind whether they disagree or not would come in here and upset that?

That's one step away from joining the SGMilitary group, and starting a thread calling everyone in there a murderer. Talk about rude and uninformed. You never should have posted in this thread. Some shit you should just keep to yourself. And please do in the future.

My guy joined the army to help others. Unfortunately he was injured and will be coming home soon. I'm happy he's coming home but I'm sad we are losing one of the good guys that joined not to kill the "enemy" but to help those in need.

No, I'm not sure, but if I recall correctly that's what the guy told me. I definitely could be wrong though. If it was just regular Toys for Tots though I'm not sure why they'd even bother making the distinction.

[edit] Now that I think about it some more I'm about 99% sure it is for the children of service members. I still could be wrong though.
