Someone was caught sneeking around for GREEN items for our valiant heroes ... hehehe
✬★✬ Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I am happy to report the packages I sent with all of our heartfelt cards of love and appreciation are beginning to arrive on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan! For those of you who have asked if you could help in March or April ~~ these are special requests directly from our troops: nuts, packaged tuna, chocolate covered raisins, Maxim, Muscle and Fitness, Muscle & Body, MMA News, funny movies, the books “Lone Survivor” by Marcus Luttrell, “Three Cups of Tea“, “Stones into Schools” (both by Greg Mortenson) Photography magazines & Magazines about dogs.♥ The cut off date is 14Feb for me to receive these items for St. Patrick’s Day care packages … Any items not rec’d by 14Feb will be included in March care packages. ♥ (Last week I baked 28 dozen cookies for the 6 heroes & their units I am supporting, along with the Combat Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan. Earlier today I was found purchasing a bunch of GREEN fun to include with the requested items for March … so any of the items underlined above that you can help with would be greatly appreciated!) … keep reading though … more ideas are in the following paragraphs! 
Care package contents from Feb 2010 (last year)
✬★✬… Anybody out there live in New Orleans or going to Mardi Gras? … if so, I have a really special request for March … can you get some beads, masks, hats, and green/purple boas, or anything FUN you can send me to include to our valiant heroes in March care packages??? My theme is Mardi Gras and Easter all in one! Thanks a million!!✬★✬
Another blog will be written for specific items requested for Easter after I get the Feb care packages sent, but for now, please remember .. the cut off for March care packages is 14March. ♥

Of course, to cut down on your costs, if you want to just send me a check, money order, gift card to WalMart, Big Lots, Costco, that would be fantastic .. or you simply click on the “donate” button in the upper right corner of my website : http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/
Another way you could help is shipping costs. If you can send an AmEx gift card or if the post office offers gift cards, that would be MAGIFICENT!
My website (http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/ ) has recently been updated with links on how to “adopt a hero”, along with the most up-to-date details on “how to ship” packages and “what to send” to our valiant heroes. Please refer to the website BEFORE emailing me. As the year progresses, I am committed to focusing on my health, organizing my life, working full time job … and of course quality time with family & friends every month, as part of “Being Better”. 
The Sky Angel is always looking up ... hehehe

♥ Since my ultimate goal is to get every service member “adopted” for their deployment, if you can adopt your own service member or rally your friends to do this as a project together, you can sign up at: http://adoptahero.us/ … that would be AWESOME. ♥My address is:

Thanks everyone for your patience, understanding, and compassion! May God bless America and the valiant heroes who protect our every day freedoms!

For those of you on Facebook, PLEASE change your profile picture to a Superhero as a virtual Valentine to our Veteran’s and Active Military Personnel. They need our support and this is a way to show them, without it costing a penny! It is so great to see the support of my innovative idea & I cannot thank you enough for participating! Please be sure to repost why you are changing your photo and ask your friends to do the same.
