I will probably mail 1 or 2 more Christmas packages in the next week or so. <BR/><BR/>If any of you would like to send me any letters, pictures,audio tapes, etc. for Whitney be sure to send them as soon as possible and I will tuck them into one of her packages. I would love to be able to surprise her with a nice little bundle of love from family and friends back home. <BR/><BR/>Mail c/o <BR/>Mom Richards<BR/>16 Oakmere Place <BR/>Sugar Land, TX 77479<BR/><BR/>For anyone who is interested I am also putting together Christmas packages for Whitney's older brother Sargeant Richards and the other soldiers he works with in Iraq. If any of you would like to donate items for this cause just mail them to the same address with the label:<BR/>Operation: Christmas in Iraq<BR/><BR/>Items that would be so appreciated:<BR/>letters and cards of encouragement and appreciation (these could be emailed too and I will print them out: kartx98@yahoo.com). Current- gently used paper back books that are motivational, uplifting, suspense, political or spy novels etc. Irish Spring Aloe bar soap, Old Spice Red Zone bar deodorant, Head & Shoulders intensive care<BR/>shampoo,tinactin athlete's foot spray or powder, Taste of Thai-different flavors-it's like a bigger version of cup of noodles in the asian food section of most grocery stores. Magazines like- Motor Trend and Car & Driver. packages of gum, candy (it gets pretty cold in the winter and they have air conditioned trailers so things won't melt. Hand lotion, chap stick/lip balm, just what ever you think they might like. Everything will be helpful and very appreciated. Thanks again and Happy Halloween!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I have more time for this project since mail gets to Baghdad in less than a week. I will start mailing everything at the end of November.Just a thought...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06539273287567637235noreply@blogger.com
