Hey guys I have been meaning to put something together for a few months now for my cousin who has been gone since October. I'm looking to put something together pretty quick here and get it sent out ASAP. Thinking I will keep this open for a week or so.
He is a Platoon Daddy (aka SFC for those of you not w/the Army lingo). They are running supply missions out of Kuwait to and from Iraq. They missed all of the Holidays with their families. My cousin was telling me that 2 of his troops wives had babies already and three more are expecting. There are regular cigar smokers there too.
He was also telling me that there are guys that are not getting anything from home that he can hand stuff out to. It would be a big morale booster for them.
So here's the deal I will send over whatever you guys send to me just keep in mind there are certain things that they can not have like alcohol etc. So far here is what I have. I will try to keep this updated as things come in and take pics. Thanks in advance.
IPOD Nano from NYHCx516x
Big box of candy, soap, t-shirts, socks, and bunch of cigars from ME
lilwing 20 cigars
Nighthawk I think sent a box of La perla Hab and 2 other bags of sticks
Russ55 assortment of 16 cigars matches and cutters
Christian Sapp box of Nica Libres
Raschnuts sent cigars
firetruck644 sent 21 cutters
Joey with his end of the stuff to be sent.

If you decide to do this, would it make more sense for you to send off these sticks and I could pay for the shipping? Let me know how you would like to work this. Thanks again. Oh and could you include the names of everyone that has contributed so they can be thanked.
How about if we get anyone on the left coast that hasn't shipped to me yet send you stuff and anyone on this side send to me. One thing I wasn't thinking about was does anyone have cutters and matches?
Thanks guys this is going to hopefully make their stay over in "the suck" at least a little better.
