Last Minute Help for the Troops…Please!

December 11, 2005 ⋅  E-Mail Article ⋅ ⋅ Post a comment

The folks at Argghhh! (a.k.a The Donovan) truly have a serious last minute request. John Donovan received an urgent request from the Marine Corps Moms who are in contact with the 1107th AVCRAD, a company of 250 soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems their funding didn’t come through and they are facing a bleak holiday.

Now we all support the troops, I hear people say it all the time. Well now its time to put your money where your mouth is! These troops are on the other side of the world fighting for us…the least we can do is cough up some dough and help provide some necessities.

The Marine Corps Moms are putting together holiday goodie bags filled with things we take for granted like candy, beef jerky, cheese, DVDs, and board games. The problem is to buy all these items and ship them priority to the other side of the world…it’s going to cost some money. I don’t think these moms should have to foot the bill themselves!

Do your part and chip in…every little bit helps.
