Personal My Brother Is Turning 21.....In Iraq

[thecougchef]

hi all - my brother is turning 21 on the 19th & as ive said before - he is currently on his 1st tour of duty in iraq. i am going to mail out a big birthday box but i thought it would be neat if i could send him a flood of birthday cards. so my thought is - if any of you would be willing to purchase/make/write on a napkin a little birthday message for him, you can send it to me & i will forward it to him. i was a sophomore in college when he went into basic training & the girls from my sorority would send him letters every week. & chef success is sort of like my new sorority

pm me if you are interested & i will give you my address.



& i know there are others whose brothers & husbands are deployed right now too. i continue to pray for them every day...

Meghan - send me his address and when you want cards by. I'll have my daughter write one too - she loves doing that!

Her screen name is JAE!

She won't be on tonight, because she has a huge Open House....I'll point her in this direction though - I'm seeing her tomorrow morning.

Hi, Meghan. I don't have private messaging enabled (I prefer email), but I would love to send a card, even though it might get there a little bit late. My husband returned in July from a year at Camp Taji, and our fellow Chef Successors really blessed him while he was gone. I would love to pay it forward!

My email is [email protected]

I'm on now. I'm so excited that my card was the first that he received. It was so fast. I think I sent it last Thursday or maybe Friday. I hope he gets lots of cards.

I would love to send him a card and I bet I could get my son's 1st grade class to make cards for him - send me his info!

I sent a box to Meghan's brother on Friday. It cost $10 with a flat rate box. I had it prepared before I showed up to get in line at the post office. I was bummed that I stood in line for at least 5 minutes and then had to fill out a "customs" slip. Not a big deal except I then had to stand in line again. Sooo, moral of the story: You have to fill out a customs slip that the postmaster attaches. You still put the address and return address on the box. The label is attached next to that info. You write down what is inside the box and how much it's worth. Write out a list before you tape the box shut, so you don't forget what's in there. Now I know, and I'll be prepared next time.

It isnt so bad if you grab a handful of thecustoms form the next time you go to the PO then you will have it ready when you are standing in line. MY PO lets us step to the side and fill it out and not have to wait in line again. Sorry that happened to you!

Good luck and thanks for the reminder
