SEND: Love Boxes to our Troops -- Could They Make it ANY Easier!?!?
This is a great idea. We always think of our troops on the Holidays but we should try and do what we can year round.-Dinah Lee
I was going to blog about this yesterday, then changed my mind. A few people don't support our troops and I wasn't in the mood yesterday -- didn't feel like being flamed.
Then I read a feature today and was SO inspired by what I read -- and coming up in second place behind Dinah Lee Griffey Allyn (and I thought I had a lot of names!?) -- her post so inspired me, so here goes.

NOW -- back to my blog -- LOVE BOXES!!
If you are inspired, and so inclined -- please send LOVE BOXES of goodies to our troops.
This is just an easy, no-brainer. The US Post Office has free "MILI FRB" domestic flat rate boxes. You can pack these boxes and mail them to our troops for $11.95 -- NO MATTER WHAT THEY WEIGH!!
I also believe that UPS will take them at the same rate!
There are certain terms and conditions -- but, hey. . . we're in real estate -- we're used to that!
For example, you have to address the box with a NAME! It can't go out to an anonymous solider. Don't mail anything that can melt (like chocolate). There's some good suggestions of what would be good to send, and what wouldn't.

JULY 4th is right around the corner, and what a GOOD Independence Day Idea!!
I'm PROUD to live in America. We're not a perfect country -- but we never said we were. We have our faults, and there is NO COUNTRY that does not have blood on its hands. Fact. A sad, sad fact.
The little "P.S." about LOVE BOXES FOR OUR TROOPS: this program was founded by a Realtor(r) -- yes it was!!
