Some items

Okay, well some items that will help while im here.
Baby wipes, (lack of water means little showers or not even a shower)
3Mhooks the sticky ones that you can stick to a wall,
good hangers for clothes,
collapsable stool/chair, like the camping stools that fold up
pledge and dusting/cleaning items, we have lots of dust and would like to clean our little home
Carpet of any sort. it might be hard to send so if you cant no problem we have hard floors that can get cold. maybe a couple of bath rugs or different things,
A small to mid size cooler, but that is a luxury

I hope everyone is doing well, I cant wait for the first letters so please send them. If you send packages please number them so i can tell if a package you have sent did not make it.
I will try and take pictures and upload them once we get internet. It should be too crazy expensive. We are gonna try and get a TV so we can watch sports. Dont know how much that will cost? Anyway Books will never hurt, if you do send books i like true military, or leadership style books, Colin Powel, John McCain, and those types would be interesting to read about.

If you would like to get a letter or you think i dont have your address you are correct. please if you send a package, enclose a note with your address so i can be sure to have it correct.

Thank you to all those who support me. While we get set for the next 9 months please understand your letters mean more than you will ever know. If you want to write to others soldiers and not just me here are a few names of my soldiers you can put the letters in the packages to me and I will hand them out or you can address the soldier themself

SGT Adam Kopel
SPC Josh Helm
PFC Larry Wilder
SGT Audria Jacobs
PFC Terri Heishmann
PFC Travis Brierly
SPC Adam Yates
SGT Mellisa Bares
SSG Ed Hystad
These are my soldiers and they will be my responsbility the whole time we are here. They will save my life just as much as i save theirs. Please know they should mean as much to you as i do.

Thanks to all

Hey Buckley,

Glad to find out about your blog and glad to see that you are finally there, wish I was there with you. I'm going to make this short I have an 18 month old hanging off my lap with a ripe diaper. If you or any of your guys need anything please let me know, I will do what I can for any of you. If you want and think you can receive that special package we talked about before you left let me know. And tell Jirava that I said Hi. Oh yeah, I caught up to you a few months ago SSG. I gotta go, talk to you soon. Thompson

J.B. - I've sent 2 coolers. One via Coleman direct to your APO and one from another source, Procura, to your APO. Hopefully one or both should reach you. One is 9 can red/white hard sided; the other is 9 can collapsible, should be green, but not camo. More stuff coming. Take care and smack some sand-jacks for me if you get a chance.
Love,
DAD

Hi John,
Michael and I have a few NEW saddle blankets which make great rugs, I hope yo didn't want the ones with the horse sweat? Also, some cleaning things, and a few other things you didn't ask for, headed your way.
You can always share what you don't want or need.
Be Blessed and give our regards and respect to your troops. If any of them do email and want to write to us, we'd love it.
Rachele and Michael

Okay My Friend, you have 3 boxes headed your way. I also need to know if you have an AAfees on your base or one nearby? This has to do with the TV. I send an email to Jessica with some questions in case you don't get to read this any time soon. I also need to know about phone cards and how that works and do you need them? We are speaking to three local entrepreneurs/businesses to see about getting some more rugs and cleaning supplies. I think we might get the cleaning supplies from local Hardware store, but wont' know until next week. However the owner said he's set us up if we come back and talk to one of his employees that handles donations next week.
Phone cards and AAFEES is our big questions of the moment. Blessings, let us know when your goodies get there.
Blessings
Rachele & Michael
