SUPPORT-A-UNIT INITIATIVE |
 PopularMilitary.com is in a
unique position to support the troops because
of the 26,000 plus members of
PopularMilitary.com's
Facebook Fan Page. Many of these members have
expressed an interest in helping to support the troops. Our
first step in this initiative is to identify deployed US
military units that have specific needs that can be addressed
by private citizens, organizations and businesses in the
United States. After military units in need have been
identified, PopularMilitary.com will post this information so that concerned
Americans can work to meet these needs. Please
contact us if you know of a unit
that has a specific need. Examples of needs include care
packages, eye protection, cold weather gear, sun block, phone
cards, magazines, etc.
Please provide the following information:
Name of unit
Location of unit
Short description about the unit
Items that are needed
Contact information of person recommending unit
Contact information of unit
Mailing address of unit
Additional information such as mailing restrictions,
guidelines, etc.

Operation Hooah |
 "Thousands
of brave soldiers are deployed to Forward Operating Bases (FOBs)
in pretty rugged and primitive conditions. Some in remote
outposts live in dugouts or hand built fort-like structures of
timber and rock/mud sandbags. In the WINTER, it is very cold
and wet, and in SUMMER it is beastly hot, dusty and dry over
there in Afghanistan. Soldiers deployed to outposts and
firebases are often dirty, hungry, bored, lonely, very cold,
or miserably hot, and much of the time, in harm's way. Many do
not have any laundry facilities; the only water is what the
Chinooks can deliver, so some only get a shower once a month.
Often, sanitary conditions are quite dispiriting. Though the
platoon FOBs and outposts are resupplied by helicopter it is
no small task to keep them completely supplied and able to
function and keep morale high when their surroundings are
unsanitary, crude, hostile... and... WAY in the HECK out in
the wilderness so far away from comfort, safety, and loved
ones!
Many are often in need of basic things to help them keep warm
and clean. They can use, and will appreciate ANY hygiene items
or treats you can send them."
