Prey for us here in Al Ramadi

[Varmint Hunter]

I have noticed on a few of the shooting/hunting boards threads that like to bash unions. Our union has a few thousand members. Union members support the troops with more than just words.

Our union put out an appeal to the membership for donations. In the appeal we listed every item that was suggested to us by returning servicemen and women. Everything from Twizzlers to hygiene products was on that list. Within days our members started filling large boxes with items on the list. We formed a committee to collect, box and ship the supplies over seas. Many members also donated cash so that we could pay for shipping.

Within a month we collected an exceptional amount of donated items and shipped out more heavy boxes than you can imagine.
Later, we received a request for writing stationary, pens, pencils and a few items that were not on the original list. Another appeal went out to our membership and the supplies were rolling in again. We did it for the troops but it sure made me feel good every time we loaded up and headed to the post office.

Sorry we couldn’t supply some venison jerky too. :>)

ROCKY - Thank you for all that you do for our grateful country - be safe.
