A terrific challenge, Captain! My first box (almost 20 pounds of goodies) went out to Kabul last week, and I'll have another one ready today or tomorrow.
Next to donating blood, I can't remember when doing something this easy felt so good.
Knowing the generosity of the JOTW NEDwork, Tom and his partners will probably receive more than they need and be able to spread the wealth elsewhere. Even better!

*** From Bridget Serchak:
Ned,
I'm tapping into your creative mind and vast network on behalf of the Code of Support Foundation's Campaign 99 and asking if you could reach out to your JOTW'ers with an important request to help us spread the word about this organization and its efforts. The COS was started by MG Alan Salisbury, USMA '58 (my dad's West Point classmate), as a way to coalese and coordinate the 99% of Americans who have never served in uniform around the 1% of you who have (thanks for your service, Ned!) By offering all Americans an opportunity to sign the COS pledge, the Foundation is providing a tangible way to give meaning to the words “support our troops”. It's really as simple as that.
Click here to read the Code of Support (the Code of Military Conduct is also on the same page – that is the code all servicemen and women adhere to – as you well know): http://codeofsupport.org/read-the-code
Then click here to sign the Code of Support (you have the option of writing a dedication in honor or in memory of a friend or family member who served or who is currently serving in uniform): http://codeofsupport.org/read-the-code/sign-the-code
A copy of all the pledges collected to date – in person and online – will be delivered to the ADM Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on September 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks against the US.
We are hoping to get 100,000 (or more pledges) by then – and one million pledges (or more) by Memorial Day 2012.
Ned, with the 10,000+ members of JOTW, I figured this was a good group to start with – especially with so many JOTW'ers who are either current or former servicemembers and the rest of us who know and have friends and family who have served or who are serving.
Please check out the Web site http://codeofsupport.org/ for more information regarding the Foundation, the organizations who are already supporters (including the Red Cross, the USO, National Guard, US Chamber of Commerce and a host of veterans groups) of our troops and veterans and the COS – and, very importantly, how to get involved with any of them – and, most imminently, the big kickoff event that gets underway the first week of September: a Patriots & Heroes Pacific to Potomac Relay (outlined in the press release below).
As communicators, JOTW'ers could be of special help to us in the communities along the Relay route (see the map here: http://codeofsupport.org/events/pacific-to-potomac-relay) to help us spread the word about the relay, promote or assist with pledge collection events held along the route, and to alert their media contacts that the Relay is coming through their towns – just like the Olympic torch relay. Just drop a line to volunteers@codeofsupport.org if interested/able to assist with this effort in any way.
Ned, however, much of this email you can/want to put into the next JOTW would be fabulous. The COSF would just appreciate as many JOTW'ers pledges as possible to be a visible part of the Campaign 99 – and really show all of our troops and veterans that we really mean it when we say we support them.
Thanks so much as always. Bridget
