<BR>> <BR>> In honor of Friedrich and his life, many of his<BR>> friends have begun gathering<BR>> and sending care packages to the men and women who<BR>> are serving in Iraq and<BR>> Afghanistan.

I therefore invite, nay, challenge the<BR>> other baronies, shires<BR>> and cantons in this great kingdom to do the same.<BR>> How many groups out there<BR>> are willing to put forth just a little effort to let<BR>> our soldiers and<BR>> marines who serve in hazardous duty know that we<BR>> remember and appreciate<BR>> them? All you need is one or two people from each<BR>> group to coordinate the<BR>> effort of collecting the donations, then boxing and<BR>> shipping it - everyone<BR>> else can just drop off donated items at fighter<BR>> practice or
populous<BR>> meetings. It's that easy. <BR>> <BR>> What's that? You don't know what to send or where to<BR>> send it? That's not a<BR>> problem - just have your group's coordinator contact<BR>> us at the email address<BR>> below, and we'll tell you all that you need to know.<BR>> Furthermore, we'll keep<BR>> a tally of the groups who are joining in this effort<BR>> and sing each group's<BR>> praise on these lists and in as many courts as<BR>> possible. <BR>> <BR>> We often speak of heroes in the SCA, and sing their<BR>> praises. Well now we<BR>> have the chance to honor true heroes - the men and<BR>> women who have<BR>> voluntarily placed themselves in harm's way in order<BR>> to help keep us safe.<BR>> Come on, Ansteorra, let's do what little we can to<BR>> honor and support these<BR>> heroes!<BR>> <BR>> Thank you,<BR>> Sir Pendaran & Mistress Jehanne<BR>> (twinoak@cox-internet.com)<BR>>
