owners can do."i copied this from another website" Please help! Send your old car magazines to our troops.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been sending care packages to our troops this last year. Recently I recieved an email from my guy (Marc) who distributes the care packages for me. He stated that the service members get a lot of toothpaste, candy and cookies, etc., but they would also really like some car/truck/motorcycle as well as Field and Stream, and Home and Garden magazines as they are pretty scarce. Remember that porn is illegal.
I was thinking that some of you could help out as all my old magazines(even my classic ones) have been shipped out months ago. It seems like a pretty small sacrifice to give up some old magazines. I asked a couple of the local car clubs to get their members to send out their old car/truck and motorcycle magazines to my contact listed below. I was hoping some of you could help out too.
Other things to put in the packages are notebooks and pens. The soldiers give them to the kids and parents. In turn the Afghan people start to trust the soldiers more and start giving them information on the enemy. Certainly trust and respect are worth a few pens and tablets of paper.
The post office will supply you with a free Flat rate box that will fit magazines and notebooks perfectly. They cost $8.90 to ship and will arrive in a week, maybe two. You can fill them up to 20 lbs. I have 6 going out today.
Here is the information and address of my guy so you can send packages also.
Marc Piccollo (LT Colonel, a 19 year Air Force veteran) is the Deputy Group Commander for the 755th Air Expeditionary Group based out of Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan. He visit sites around the country, checking in on Airmen in very remote forward base locations. Marc is happy to distribute the packages to the troops.
Here is the address to ship care packages to:
M. D. Piccolo
755 AEG / CD
APO AE 09354
If you write "STOVEBOLT" on the side off the box, Marc will know it is most likely magazines. REMEMBER to send some writing tablets and pens so the soldiers can hand them to the kids.
Thanks for your help.
