SUPPORT
OUR
TROOPS
Here are
pictures of our troops
patrolling in rugged Afghanistan.
Send them a package of things they need and let them know we
support them. It's easy, inexpensive, and will bless these men and women who are sacrificing
to protect us in this war against terror.
Let's share our blessings
with these very special men and women!

Interview w/BG Jim Hesson, S-O-T
Co-Chairman

Here's a great report from Col. John O'Brien on recent
S-O-T efforts here in Sarasota by
the Military Officer's Association of Sarasota:

IMPORTANT! Remember to "check"
(or "circle") Box
10, "Treat as Abandoned", (Box 17, on some earlier versions) on the Custom's Form 2976-A. This should prevent boxes
being returned to the sender if they miss connecting with the intended Unit.

packages from home.

----------------------------------------------------
Also, we need financial help to
ship boxes recently brought in through special drives. Although
individuals sending boxes generally pay shipping charges directly, MOAS has
occasionally picked up
shipping for a few special drives, as an incentive for support.
Due to
the wonderful success of these special drives, MOAS has expended several
thousand dollars to cover shipping. So, we're asking for your help to replenish
these funds. See the "Information Memo", to the left, for details of where to
mail these tax-deductible donations. Thank you in advance for your help to Support
Our Troops!
Please consider "networking" to encourage
SOT support. We all
belong to Associations, churches, Bible studies,
organizations, clubs, homeowner's groups, etc.
Your Bank will often conduct a drive! Consider mentioning the needs
of our troops and ask
for help. It's good to have downloaded and hand out an SOT Flier, left,
for concrete info. And, family members will often
come aboard
and help. It's important that we regularly look for ways to expand the SOT base
of support; the need is urgent.
THEY'VE ASKED FOR OUR PRAYERS
"Lord, hold our
troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect
us. Bless them and
their families for the selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need.
Amen."
