As a "Local Area Resident" I would be willing to offer my services as a delivery boy, but suspect that while I have appropriate ID etc, such an action would be turned away. I agree its a noble gesture, but not very actionable. :(

In the past, while on overseas deployments, high schools have sent care packages and letters to us. This even happened during the height of 9-11, and OP APPOLLO, but that was "then"..... {and in Canada}

No need to apologize you had the best intentions and we all hoped it was real.

A local syndicated radio show, The Rick and Bubba Show, offers this link to help out through the USO Cares program.. Research it for yourselves, and be confident that your donation will actually go to the troops..

I've listened to the show for years, and will stand behind their reputation anytime.
