I am proud to have a son ( Captain Adam Campbell) serving in the USMC in Kandahar Afghanistan. Adam advised that with the holidays approaching the best things to send to the troops are Phone cards , SKYPE cards and Itune cards. Adam advised that he would disperse any cards to enlisted Marines wishing to call home for the holidays. My son is a Harrier Pilot assigned to VMA 231. This squadron has over 200 marines in Kandahar. VMA 231 is charged with flying close air support (CAS) for the united troops serving in Afghanistan. VMA 231 is due to return the beginning of summer 2010. I encourage any one who wishes to donate cards to the marines to write a quick note that can be sent with your gift.
Many of you have already donated DVD’s to the marines. To date we have sent over 500 DVD’s to Afghanistan. These are in a central location for all to check out. DVD’s are still being accepted by Belmar Recreation and sent to Afghanistan.
Thank you for all you do for our brave Men and Women serving so far from home.
