Re: Deployed OIF/OEF Personel
Mary,
thanks for the links, but that is what our "Adopt A Shop" is about, supporting our brother and sisters in their various units while in country.
ANGLICO support missions
For any ANGLICO Marines or Sailors on board:
We began with the 1st ANGLICO deployment to OEF. When 5th ANGLICO replace them we took that on. The stage is set to support 2d ANGLICO when they replace 5th. We've been able to send thousands in goods to each unit. You can do it yourself, easily, with the USPS APO/FPO boxes that ship for $12.50, and personalize it with a letter of encouragement, I think that's the best way.
If your old unit is now deployed, all you need is an FPO address. It's most rewarding to give them a little morale boost every few weeks.
