This isn't a typical blog post. Consider it another FYI :)
As I mentioned several months ago Pagans United (http://pagansunited.com) is sponsoring troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have points of contact at several different bases. We send cards, letters, packages of goodies, and Pagan related supplies and they distribute them to those that need them or that have put in a special request for an item.
We've recently updated the contact list and I wanted to post that here since previous lists were posted here as well. If you're interested in sending anything over, feel free to do so. Everyone on the list below accepts packages and then distributes to those who need the items. The best way to ship is flat rate. It's like 9.00 (I think... don't quote me on that) and includes APO AE addresses. They are always in need of basic items (goodies, news from home, personal care items, etc). I didn't include the requested Pagan items... if you're interested in a list of those, let me know and I can send that over too. :)
We'll be adding British troops to the list as soon as we have those as well.

Pagans United will be sponsoring the following Pagan Groups in Afghanistan and Iraq until further notice. I will be keeping all you apprised of what is needed and when. For now this is a basic list....many of these groups have nothing and no way to get them. So please, even if tis just a card or letter send what you can.
I will be in contact with the following contact people personally to find out what items they really need. Remember with the colder weather and holidays, items like cider, flavored coffees and such are appreciated. Other non pagan items always appreciated. Big item...FOOT POWDER...make sure tis the kind with Styric Acid in the ingredients otherwise they just get goop in the boot. LOL. Snacks, toiletries, soups, teas, magazines, books are all highly appreciated items.
Blessed Be,
Laura & Keith Roberts, Pagans United

I'm not a Pagan, but I do think that what this group is doing is great!
We ALL need to support our troops, no matter our political or religious persuasion ;)
