Right now, we have 9 battalions with coordinators. If you'd like to help with one of these battalions, or would like to make sure another battalion is included, contact Deb or Connie and we'll put you in touch with the coordinator.
We've heard that some of the packages are already in Iraq and waiting to be distributed to our Marines. I will take another load of boxes to the post office on Monday - helped by LCpl Shane Conrad who was on the receiving end last year. Our sons are home for the holidays this year - but there are thousands of Marines who are deployed. Operation Santa will cover at least 10,000 of them.

Actually, this picture is 1/10 C Company and was sent by Laurie Want who provided Operation Santa gifts for one of the platoons. :-)
