Can we put copies of the Christmas song in the boxes? If so, I will buy a copy on itunes for each one and burn a copy. (Sorry if this was asked before. I searched, but I probably missed it.)
My boxes are now half filled!

Hey guys,
Someone here at work saw my list and came up with another requested item. She does this sort of thing regularly for the Marines, and one of the items they always request is Silly String!
Yes, those aerosol cans of Silly String. She says they use it on patrol when going into places that might have hidden tripwires and booby traps. They can spray it and it will show up the wires - and it is light enough that it won't set them off.
Nancy, you might want to see if the VFW will approve cans of Silly String.

That's a GREAT idea, but sorry. No is the answer. All burnt copies of "anything" will be destroyed before going to Iraq, they consider it ILLEGAL, even if it's by the Recording Artist! Sorry hun. I won't be removing anything from the boxes, but the VFW or the Military will be if it's not on that list....... Now, LIP BALM is NOT on that list, but it's approved to go over.... Thanks for the Support! Nancy

Ok, he laughed at me! I'm like "Mr, I'm serious! Can I send Silly String" more laughing, "Mr, Stop that laughing, your gonna hurt yourself!" say it again. "Can we send Silly String?" THE DUDE MUST HAVE FALLEN! Must have been the way I said it, or he was on some wicked medications, cause truly, I was as serious as I could be! Anyway, he says Nancy darlin', just stick with that list baby, and it would be safer for the time being. I'm like ok. So, there it is! Stick with the list please. Oh my ;D Nancy

ROFLMAO.....well that sucks! Silly String is a good idea, maybe they should update the list or maybe they don't know about how the guys use it & why?

ROFLMAO.....well that sucks! Silly String is a good idea, maybe they should update the list or maybe they don't know about how the guys use it & why? Ok, just in MY OPINION, and not an OFFICIAL opinion at all. Send it. If they don't want it, they throw it away before it goes to Iraq. What is it? One dollar? Go for it I say IN MY OPINION, only, and if the VFW or Military don't want it, they throw it away. They have those smaller cans they use for Birthday parties, and it wouldn't take up much more room! So there's my unofficial advice...... Nancy
