Jill L replied to Rhonda S's discussion Restrepo in DC"Hi, Rhonda,
While we might not see eye-to-eye on various aspects of the wars themselves, we are in complete agreement about this book and the soldiers! I've read it 3 times, and I, too, feel like it's ruined me for other books. That said,…"
Dave Cullen replied to Jill L's discussion So inspired by the book to send care packages, and here's what I did...."This is such a great idea. And I love the care you took in thinking about what to include: you clearly thought about what might appeal to them.
I'm going to see if I can get the members of my forum interested in taking this up."

Thanks you so much for your offer of assistance! When your former Viper Company contact gets settled, please let me know what he needs and I'll be happy to write him and send what I can.
On the AnySoldier site I was contacted by…"

if you have any questions about mailing, feel free to ask-I supported Battle Company, Viper Company & Baker Company at the Korengal Outpost. I've used Anysoldier, and I am also a Soldiers' Angel. I have…"

I'm replying not only as an 'average person' but as Metro New Yorker. I commute into NYC every day from NJ. I go through not only Penn Station, but Times Square and Grand Central Station as well. My sense of awareness is…"
Sebastian Junger replied to Jill L's discussion So inspired by the book to send care packages, and here's what I did...."Thank you so much for your support - it means a huge amount to the guys. When I was out there with them they often commented how nice it was to be remembered by people back home - especially people they didnt even know. So thank you.
Sebastian"
Jill L replied to Jill L's discussion So inspired by the book to send care packages, and here's what I did...."Hey mouse,
Not a dork at all! I'm glad I was hopefully able to help. Interestingly enough, I had gotten an address from Anysoldier when I began this whole process, then Brendan and I were emailing and he gave me Vinny's APO address, and…"
Jill L replied to Jill L's discussion So inspired by the book to send care packages, and here's what I did...."Hi!
That's exactly the situation I found myself in. I had wanted to send care packages for years, I embarassed to admit that it took me this long, but I found Brendan's info through Restrepo site and reached out to him. When I clicked on…"

After having read the book a few months ago (I work for the publisher), I felt both inspired and compelled to send care packages. Brendan gave me the site www.anysoldier.com and told me to click on 'Where to Send' then 'Any Soldier Addresses'. I wanted to send to 2nd Platoon in Italy, so I chose 'Italy' as 'Where Unit Is From,' but this site allows you to send to any soldier anywhere. I was thrilled to spend my tax refund on this great cause! See More
Jill L left a comment for vinny cantu"Hi Vinny, I hear that you got the care packages, and I'm very happy to hear that you like everything. If there's anything you or your buddies want/need, please please please let me know and I'm happy to send, really! Thank you for…"

- It was an incredible experience. I don't think I've ever been in a movie theatre that was that quiet before. And the Museum of Fine Arts was such an elegant, special place to have the screening. You know, after consistently being pulled and poked and prodded in one direction or another by various movies and documentaries, it was refreshing - and kind of an odd experience - to just incorporate 90 minutes of such riveting information, and then be left to my own mind to sort it out. You know? I think that's just one more of Restrepo's gifts. It gets our deadened American brains thinking again.
Plus, it was fantastic (and unexpected!) having Dan Kearney there at the Q&A. I even asked a question! Check me out!! : ) lol
