Longstanding campaign to help soldiers

In Reply to: SILLY STRING - Mary
There was a shipment today from NJ of about 80,000 cases of silly string. The soldiers shoot it out in front of them and it hangs on the trip wires. I don't know who the lady had to get permission from, but she has been collecting for this for months. It all began when she asked her son what she could do to help the soldiers in Iraq and he told her about the silly string. It's actually been hard to find it on the shelves of NJ for quite a while. It's really been a motivating campaign.

I want to start a new campaign, calling it
Now I imagine all of the prudes and uptights in my world will disagree, but I think that realistically "Just Say Maybe" is a more reasonable expectation from my son. Saying maybe removes peer pressure and buys my kid time -- time to discuss options with me, time to evaluate a situation. Teaching him abstinence is not a realistic possibility. Teaching him the responsibilities associated with choices is a more approachable goal. JMHO
Prayers for your sons and all our soldiers! nm

Tell that to the soldiers using food stamps at the commissary.

News about silly string to soldiers
in Iraq. A NJ mom has gotten the approval to send silly string to troops that would help detect hidden trip wires that they cannot see otherwise. Who would have thunk it.
It really is infuriating to me too! Yes, they also picket soldiers' funerals (sm)

They protest many funerals and memorial services of innocent people. It just makes me so sick.
