Cathy Free: Needed: $25,000 for troops' yule gifts

Love this cause and I'm happy to have the opportunity to contribute. Thanks for writing about this project. Even though times are difficult for most people, it's still important to remember the sacrifices our troops are making overseas.

How sad that some of these soldiers don't receive anything from home. I can't imagine how depressing it must be to be in a place like Iraq, feeling like nobody cares. Let's all chip in what we can to change that!

Here's a big shout out to our troops: Thanks for all you do! This is a worthy effort. Something as simple as a letter or a card for these people at Christmas really does make a HUGE difference.

Here's a big shout out for our troops: Thanks for all you do! This is a wonderful cause. Something as simple as a card or a letter for our service people at Christmas really does make a HUGE difference. It might seem a little early, but it's really not, when you consider the hassles of putting everything together and shipping it to Iraq.

I don't trust it. Something just does not feel right about this story--as often as I have heard it, it never "sits" right with me. Beginning with the "Cinderella Wedding" I have been very put off by it all.

Hey, I am also wondering what happened to the other 4 posts that the site says were posted.

I've been involved with this group since the beginning and can reassure you, this is not a scam. Sen. Bob Bennett among others have been among the contributors. My nephew served in Afghanistan and I know personally how expensive it is to ship a Christmas package there. Imagine multiplying that by several thousand! Keep up the good work, Denise. A lot of people appreciate all that you do!
