Come on guys what do you say we start our own drive. Maybe we can contact one of thier members and donate there. Let's kick this around as i'm sure some of us have a model that we'll never get around to building. Or i'm getting in to deep.

I think its a great idea i know if i was in that situation i would appreciate it.

Hi all

Hey mother, great idea. I know my stash could use a little thinning out. With the holidays coming this is a great way to show the guys and gals serving very far from home that they are not forgotten. I'm sure many of us have kits sitting on a shelf just gather dust. This is a way to help some folks out, and make room for new kits. Besides, what would military modeling be without the military.
Now to the logistical part of the project. Should we have a central gathering point ? A point where all the stuff is collected before being sent to the troops. Or, do we just mail the stuff out individually with a note sayng "from Armorama" .
There are so many reasons why this is a good idea. Whether you support the war or not, forget the politics. This is about helping some folks that enjoy the same hobby we do. Correct me if I'm wrong is that not what this sites all about. Sorry if I got a little wordy, I've had way to much coffee this morning.

All,
This is a great program. I have been in contact with SGT Flyte in Baghdad. I am getting ready to send another package myself. Here is the adress to send donations to:

SGT Dean D. Flyte
ISG/MCT#4/ SCP-B
Camp Slayer
APO AE 09342

Thay are happy to receive anything you would like to send. Remember, you have to fill out a customs form to send the package overseas, local post office can help you out with this. Thanks in advance to all who send something to support our troops.

A little reminder / caution the hardest thing to ship is anything flammable (ie. paint, glue, filler putty, etc.) cannot go air from US and there isn't great ground delivery to Bagdad yet.

Is there anyone on active duty in any branch of service here(armorma) in the US that is shipping out or units sending equipment over to Iraq any time soon? Maybe, long shot, we could send out with those units. I'm checking on two members of the Air Force that routinely fly in and out ( said) If i hear anything i'll pass it along.
