Thanks for the opportunity to express our Gratitude Hello SUNRAYERS, As I just mentioned I have just returned home, as I pulled in the driveway the USPS Man pulled up and handed me some bills and a package (he must have a New Years Party to get to as he never gets here until 2:00 p.m.). I opened the package and was floored by your generosity, it will be a sad day(for me) when I have to ship the Yemon-Yime coin, but someone will be thrilled when they get this one at the event. Thank you again for the support. The Men and Women will appreciate it. The Finding Irish 4 Quote

River Cacher, That is great everything helps, the Men and Women need our support, as I understand it they do some caching to make life see a bit more normal. If you do combine from other cachers as well as yourself please let me know who donated what, as the MAGCer's like to drop thank you notes. Thanks for the support. I will be waiting for the package and will let you know when it arrives. Quote

+L0NGCH1CK3N Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 have a coin that needs to head that direction on its journey... can someone contact me and let me know what to do... thanks Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Howdy -- I've got the package almost ready to go -- I'm still waiting on some TBs and coins I ordered. Hopefully they'll get here this coming week and I'll get them out ASAP. Usually takes a couple of weeks for packages to get to their destination from here, so the 15th is my cutoff. I'll mail the package to you anyway if the stuff doesn't come in time, then followup with a secondary package when the tags and coins do come. -- JG Quote

That does not happen often, in todays mail was your package. Those are some great coins, swag, and sig items. Thank you for the support. McToy, that made my day, and will keep me laughing for days. Please drop me an e-mail and let me know where I can get one of these. Quote
+The Finding Irish 4 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 email sent BVnLJ, Had a package waiting for me when I got home. The USA themed coins are wonderful, and will make the Men and Women very happy to add these to their collections and/or Caches. The pre-made cache will be well received great container. Thanks again for the support. Quote
+burgessfour Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hi! I just about have everything together, and a co-worker and brand new cacher took an interest when I showed him all the goodies and explained about the mission. I think he may add some stuff too Quote
+ATC06 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Wow. That's all I can say. Even that can't convey the emotions I feel about all you great folks out there that do this for us. I didn't know this topic was in the forums until I finally had a few free minutes this afternoon. The Event on the 14th of February is going to be a good time, but it will be even better knowing that we have people like all of you back in the States supporting our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Civilians that are working over here. In today's times, many people have mixed emotions of what our Troops are doing here. But I can honestly say that all the hard work and sacrifice our fellow Americans and Coalition Forces are making is setting the stage for a better Iraq. Again, I cannot describe the way I feel after seeing the outpouring from everyone who is donating to this Event and to the last two we have hosted over here. Thanks again!!

+The Finding Irish 4 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 Hello All, As you can see by the post from ACT06, this is why we are we are supporting the Troops. I went to their event site, MAGC Forward Members GC1HEPJ and found this photo from a previous event. These are the some of the Troops that are keeping us safe, thought you might like to see them: Again Thank You for the support. Quote

Seven Valleys (I don't have any coins or TB's, but I will come up with something. This is a cool thing, Mike.)

On January 24th there is a ORIDA Geocachers Event in Idaho and i hope to pick up the last of the items donated here and get them out in the mail. Quote
