Donate Items To The Troops!

[cemab4y]

If you would like to donate items to the troops in Afghanistan, please send them to

Charles E. Martin
JTF Paladin SOUTH CEXC-A BLD 271
Kandahar Air Field
APO AE 09355

We need coffee, tobacco (especially smokeless) candy, snacks, etc.

Is this for your personal stash?

Also, you came to the wrong place looking for smokeless tobacco. Edited December 14, 2010 by Epoch

Don't get me wrong, op. We all appreciate your head-strong desire to help our troops, they deserve it. But this is the second time you've posted the exact same topic in the same thread strain within two weeks (notice how it's been moved once.)

Thank you for informing us, if any of us donate we will be sure to contact someone. But be aware that if you constantly post the same topic, there is a 99% chance you will be labeled a spammer, or worse, someone who uses the name of U.S. troops to gain shisha for his or her own benefit.

Not accusing, just food for thought.

On a lighter note, my uncle has never been happier with a gift from me than me sending him some tangiers horchata and Orange soda. Said him and his boys adored the stuff.

I only want to help the men and women who rish their lives here in Afghanistan. I do not need any items for myself. I have been doing this for over 6 years, and 100% of the donations go straight to the troops (Including Canadian and Australian). I do not use smokeless,either. But the troops can't light up, when they are on patrol, so a lot of them dip. I can provide you with the names of several people who can vouch for this program. I get a lot of stuff from the Masons. (And 100% of the items go to the troops).

In your last thread, someone posted links to lots of organizations that help with this kind of thing.
Here it is again.

receiving care packages from total strangers was really nice and was one of the highlights of our deployments...

I'm sure you understand the questioning people will have in sending items to an individual (and a stranger) and just having blind faith that they will distribute these items. [/size][/font]

[font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="2"]Also, are you allowed to give your exact location, especially this publicly? Just seems like the military wouldn't necessarily want people posting their current deployment locations online.[/size][/font]
