adopt a soldier ....
adoptasoldier@operationac.com Now that the new troop rotation in Iraq is nearly complete, I am writing to you for more help. You donated before with PayPal and we were able to accomplish so much for the troops last year. We ended up raising just over $855,000 and we sent over $633,000 worth of Air Conditioners, Heaters, new combat boots, food stuffs, personal care items, and even christmas trees. These all went to the soldiers of Operation Iraqi Freedom 1 and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. We are a full fledge non-profit company now and I am working hard to secure funding from corporate America, but it is taking time and that is not what our troops in Iraq have. It is already heating up over there and the requests for ACs are rolling in every day. Because of the volume of emails we get, Peggy and I can't manage them all so what we decided would be a good solution is to have you re-sign up on the website again as you did before to Adopt-A-Soldier. Just go to www.operationac.com and click on the blue star at the top where the text says "Adopt A Soldier". I will email out the new soldiers to those who sign up from 3/24/04 onward when I return from seeing my own son come back from Iraq. He is due back in the United States on April 2nd. He has been delayed in Kuwait with his unit. We are working hard to get air conditioners out to our troops in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 2 and any donation you can make to us would be greatly appreciated. Please even $5, $10 or $20 is fine. We were able to do so much last summer for our troops and I would like to continue but we operate on donations and people just are sick of hearing about the war and have essentially stopped donating all together. All donations are tax deductible. PayPal is the easiest for us but if you want to mail us a check that would be really great. Checks should be made out to Operation AC, Inc. because we are a non-profit company. Our address is 560 Peoples Plaza, Box 121, Newark, DE 19702 Thank you so much and I really hope you sign up to adopt a new soldier because they really love that we help them this way. Yes - all contributions to Operation AC, Inc. are tax deductible and we sure could use any funding you can spare to help us get the air conditioners for the troops who are there now for Operation Iraqi Freedom 2. Please don't think I'm being pushy about this if you can't donate, just write your soldier if that is all you can do. Do what you can we are not asking you to do anything you don't want to do. The whole plan is for we Americans to support our deployed troops. I don't make this about politics or policy, that is for the talking heads in Washington DC to worry about. My job, as a mother, as an American is to support my son and other fellow Americans who have sons and daughters who serve in the US Military. It is just that simple - and it works. We Americans are a team that is what makes us who we are. Thank you very much, Frankie Mayo, President/founder and Mom of a soldier Operation AC, Inc. A Delaware non-profit company __________________
