WASHINGTON, D.C., 1/11/07— OpFTH announced today that it has officially joined America Supports You, an ongoing, nationwide Department of Defense program to showcase and communicate America’s support for the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families OpFTH is an organization dedicated to sending a little Love and care packages “from the heart” to U.S. Soldiers deployed over seas.

Whoa, that's awesome!
 
9 HUGE (CIGAR FILLED) boxes left for the Troops from the Midwest Office of OpFTH.

Thanks to all the sent in donations this month. These are the Valentines Boxes for the troops.
 
Dang, looks like I missed the shipment. My box left yesterday first class Bill.
 
it will make the mid month shipments. No worry! Stuff comes in so often now my wife has to come in and help sort and pack. So when she is here everything we get in boxes GOES! :) no more waiting around to fill a box - the delay is just when we have time to sort, pack, do paperwork, transport to P.O. and pay. Looks like it will be every 2 weeks for sometime now :)

which IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING!

Thanks Mike!

Does this mean I did good and the comparison to who u think I really am in the PM is a good thing??
Haven't been here long enuf yet to know ???

I am very glad because, being a Noob and nonsmoker myself, I don't know enough about cigars & shipping them that I was worried. I did used to work handle inventory which included shipping/receiving in NY and sold on EBAY too, so I try really hard to pack things the way I would want to get them ... Shoot did u notice I even put cigars in the bags so that you could easily see the labels :D

Glad they arrived in good just wished I had read about OPFTH before I sent it. I didn't realize you took more then cigars so we will have to send another shipment after my next round of cigar auctions. I really wish I had sent some GS Cookies being the cookie Mom I have a houseful!

Glad they got there ok

Until the next time...
Take Care,
Lisa

My comment in PM :
Ok Lisa, who are you really, Moki in a dress? :laugh:

Refered to the expert way in which you packaged the cigars. Moki has posted a topic called Cigar Shipping 101

Great job!
