Hello everyone,
I hope I am not asking alot, those who can great those that can't your prayers are always needed. We do not have childern who trick or treat, those of us with children, they will be going door-to-door bringing home more chocolate than they possibly can consume. By early next week, the candy that they exhausted themselves to get on Saturday night will find its way into the trash, just in time for the garbage man.
This year, I would like to ask that you do something special with that leftover candy and send it to a Marine combat unit forward deployed in Afghanistan. Our Marines and Sailors are fighting to defend our country and protect all of us here in the States. These care packages bring enormous joy to our young warriors who all have volunteered for this duty and only ask for your respect and appreciation for their efforts. You can send a medium flat rate box via the U. S. Postal Service for about $10.00 and a large one for $12.00.
If you have some extra room in your box, let me urge you to include some baby wipes ($2.00 at Target). Our Marines and Sailors are able to take a shower, at best, twice a month. A package of baby wipes will provide a refreshing relief to a half-dozen or more of our brave young heroes.

This really is a wonderful way to help support our heroes who stand on a wall each night, in harm’s way at the point of a spear, and say nothing will happen to you tonight, not on their watch. November 10th is the Marine Corps’ 234th birthday. Let’s wish our Jarheads, Leathernecks, and Devil Dogs a happy 2-3-4 by sending them some love and joy from the USA.
I cannot tell you that by doing this that all you want in life will be granted or all your prayers will be answered. However, please note……….fallen Marines guard the gates to heaven, and they are watching all of us!!! I don’t know about you, but I’ll need all the help I can muster to get into heaven! Thank you and God bless you.
This is not about supporting the war or not, this is about my childern and many others. This is about giving and Love.
Godspeed always,
