[M. A. Dockter]

I know that quite a few of us are not Americans but I think the following is something that many Americans here on the forum would like to participate in. I know at least 2 of the moderators are veterans of the US Armed Forces off the top of my head. I know there are more members that are veterans than I can count on my fingers at one time.

Politics aside I think it would be a wonderful thing for willing participants to join me in adopting a deployed military person via Operating Military Pride.

Some might think that by doing such a thing the PC Mechanic Forums openly support war against Iraq. By doing this, the only thing I wish to support is the giving of respect and support that those men and women who choose to fight for the United States of America and risk their lives for each and ever citizen of the country (even though some are ungrateful.) Those that think that by doing this we support war would be aside to find out that their thoughts are un-founded. I do not want this to be some sort of political “we support war” message. I want this to be a “we support our soldiers as individuals” message.

Participation is simple. If you wish to help out just drop me an email or PM. We can arrange one of many things:

1.) Send me a few bucks via paypal and I can buy items for the care packages
2.) If you would like anything included in the car packages, items, letters, etc, you can contact me and I can provide you for your email address.
3.) If you wish to have a small paragraph or 2 included in a letter please PM or email it to me.

Willing participants can help support these 2 soldiers:

He’s asking for jerky, granola, and drawings from kids; I plan to get all of those things. I hope some do the same.
