Our goal is to send 250 filled Christmas Stockings to them, which they will then distribute to members in their Company. We want to send 100 stockings to Collin, 100 stockings to Trey (both serving in Afghanistan) and 50 stockings to Travis (serving in Germany). <br /> <br />This is a wonderful opportunity to boost the morale and lift the spirits of a tired, homesick Soldier or Marine this Christmas. Please help us to fill Christmas stockings for these brave patriots who have answered the call to duty and are serving in harms way. As grateful citizens, friends, family and neighbors, this is the least we can do to assure them that they have not been forgotten this Holiday Season. <br /> <br />If you would like to participate, please read the guidelines below. If you have any questions, please contact me by email at <a href="mailto:NannyDo@msn.com"><span style="color:#33ccff;">NannyDo@msn.com</span></a> or call 1-801-721-5110. Please share this Service Project with others you know so that we can meet our goal of 250 stockings. <br /> <br />Thank you for your support of our Military Members!!! <br /> <br />Karen Robertson Gordon <br />WrappedinSupport.blogspot.com/ <br />801-721-5110 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><p><strong><em><span style="color:#33cc00;">Christmas Stocking Guidelines</span></em></strong></p><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#33cc00;">Any Christmas Stocking approximately 18 inches long </span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#33cc00;">Fill stocking with some of the items listed below or with items of your choice</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#33cc00;">Include a card with your return address or email and our blogspot: <span style="color:#33ccff;">WrappedinSupport.blogspot.com/</span></span></li><li>REMEMBER, you will be mailing the stockings to the POC (point of contact) in either Afghanistan or Germany, depending on the name I give you</li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Mail directly to the Soldier/Marine who's name you will be given when you contact me directly at </span><a href="mailto:NannyDo@msn.com"><span style="color:#33ccff;">NannyDo@msn.com</span></a><span style="color:#33cc00;"> or 801-721-5110</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#33cc00;">When mailing the stocking/stockings use either the Large Flat Rate UPS box @ $11.95 (should fit 2-4 stockings) or the Medium Flat Rate UPS box @ $10.35 (should fit 1-3 stockings)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#33cc00;">Stocking must be in the mail and sent by November 19, 2009 to arrive in time for Christmas</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#33cc00;">Please email pictures of you with your stocking/stockings so that I can put them on our blogspot</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#33cc00;">Any questions call me or email me</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size:85%;color:#006600;"></span></p><strong><em>Care package items list:</em></strong> <br /><strong><em> <br /></em></strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Beef Jerky/slim jims <br />Single Water Flavorings-Crystal light/Kool-Aid/Gatorade <br />DVD's/CD's <br />Nuts/sunflower seeds <br />Coffee /tea singles <br />Magazines -need to be appropriate <br />Trail mix <br />Gum/hard candy/licorice <br />White/black socks <br />Power bars/granola bars <br />Fruit snacks/canned fruit <br />White t-shirts <br />Peanut butter/crackers <br />Cookies/Little Debbie snacks <br />Hand held games <br />Tuna/Chicken kits <br />Instant oatmeal <br />Cards/dice/ <br />Sing/serv pop top micro food <br />Poptarts <br />Travel games <br />Ramen/Cup of Noodles <br />Micro pop corn <br />Writing supplies <br />Easy Mac &amp;

Travis Gordon, of Company C, 3rd Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment, 1st Combat Aviation Brigade, was all right.<br />“I would lie in bed at night thinking, ‘I’ve got to do something to show them what we can do (here for them),’” she said. “I literally would spend many sleepless nights worried about him. What is he doing? What is his mission? As a mother, I wanted to show our appreciation for what they do for our country.”<br /><br />Karen knew once the Soldiers redeployed to Fort Riley, they would be living in brand new barracks, so she decided the best way to show her support was to have blankets made for each Soldier in her son’s company. “What a better way for these guys to wrap up in these blankets and know people support them. Blankets bring security and I think that helps,” she said.<br /><br />To get the ball rolling, Karen contacted Erica McMannes, the company’s Family Readiness Group leader. Erica’s husband, Matthew, also was deployed with the company and she was more than willing to help Karen see her project to fruition.<br /><br />“I thought it was a great idea. It was very exciting. This is one more thing to keep you distracted from what’s going on,” Erica said. “There are so many people that want a way to show their support, so it feels good to give people that outlet and have something in the end for the Soldiers.”<br /><br />When Karen found out there were just 40 Soldiers in her son’s company, she realized she could probably make 40 blankets in one day. So she asked Erica how many Soldiers were in the battalion. McMannes told her 400. So she decided to make 400 blankets instead.<br /><br />“People kept saying to me, ‘How are you going to get 400 blankets?’ I kept saying, ‘Watch. People will do it. I know people support the military. I know that we can do this,’” Karen said.<br /><br />“When we first got a couple in, I thought, ‘Okay, maybe 400 is a big dream.’ But it wasn’t.”<br />People heard about the project from word-of-mouth and the blankets began trickling in, Karen said. Then she set up a Web site and the results were astonishing.<br /> <br />“We had neighbors, friends and strangers we didn’t even know who would hear about the project,” she said. “We were getting blankets, e-mails and pictures. I literally would sit at my computer at night organizing the blankets that were coming in, the e-mails we were getting, pictures for the website and I would cry. I don’t remember how many nights I would sit at that computer and cry over the generosity of the American people. Most of these people do not even have a connection to these Soldiers. Yes, there is a lot of Family support throughout, but a lot of them were complete strangers who heard about the project and said, ‘We want to help.’ That’s what made me cry – to see the support that we’ve gotten.”<br /><br />From the end of August, when the project started, to the Nov. 10 deadline, Karen received more than 400 blankets from 25 states around the nation.<br /><br />She also received handmade cards to give to the redeploying Soldiers from children at Randolph Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas, who all had at least one parent serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. Additionally, the children made 18 of the 400 blankets for the Soldiers.<br /><br /> “It doesn’t matter if they’re single or if they’re married, they need to know that we, as the majority of the American people, support what these guys do,” Karen said. “Whether we agree with the war or whatever, we support these guys and they need to be shown that appreciation. We can’t go back to the days of Vietnam.”<br /><br />On Nov. 25, a steady stream of Soldiers arrived at a small building on Marshall Army Airfield to pick up their blankets. Each blanket was made with two yards of fleece in patriotic colors and rolled up with love.<br /><br />Attached to each blanket was a card telling the Soldiers the name of the person who made each blanket and the city and state where the blanket was made.<br /><br />“I hope every time they (the Soldiers) look at these blankets, they just realize what love came with them,” Karen said. “It just makes me very proud I have the Family that I do and the American people support it.”<br /><br />To learn more about the “Wrapped in Support” Freedom Blankets, go to http://wrappedinsupport.blogspot.com. <br />By Dena O’DellStaff writer<br />Post/O’DellErica McMannes, FRG leader and wife of Capt.

Riley, KS. We had been called earlier in the morning by Travis, who was still in Kuwait, waiting to find out if he would be one of the Soldiers on the plane out that night. He told us it was not a for sure thing and that he wouldn't know until later that evening. So, with a great leap of faith, we started out for Kansas hoping that when we arrived we would see Travis. We stopped in Rock Springs, WY for something to eat and decided we would stay overnight since we had not heard from Travis. As we were eating pizza, we received a call from C CO, 3-1 CAB telling us that this is your "24 hour notice" for your Soldiers Homecoming!!!!! WOW!!!! We were so excited! However, we still had a 14 hour drive ahead of us if we were to make it to his Homecoming Ceremony on Saturday, November 22, 2008.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdLEVq23aI/AAAAAAAAATY/FvujNAmH1v4/s1600-h/Blankets+030.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275768026396286370" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdLEVq23aI/AAAAAAAAATY/FvujNAmH1v4/s400/Blankets+030.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>We went to bed early and was up at 0330 ready to get on the road again only to find we had a flat tire! Stephen and Sean replaced the flat tire with the spare in 17 degree weather! It was really cold! We drove straight through to Ft. Riley, KS, stopping only to get gas, bathroom breaks and food stops. Notice who is sleeping in the passenger seat.<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdKZxLXjTI/AAAAAAAAATA/aGt35ALxcXA/s1600-h/Blankets+034.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275767295046028594" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdKZxLXjTI/AAAAAAAAATA/aGt35ALxcXA/s400/Blankets+034.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We had just enough time to get our Hotel room, shower, change clothes and drive to Ft. Riley for the Homecoming. We look pretty good for having driven all day! We were so excited to see Travis again and could hardly stand waiting for the Soldiers to arrive in the hangar. (The group of ladies in back of us are from Junction City, KS and came to welcome home the Soldiers although they did not know anyone returning. What awesome support for our Military!!)<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdKZvfjbVI/AAAAAAAAAS4/ht_xTbBTFn8/s1600-h/Blankets+035.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275767294593822034" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdKZvfjbVI/AAAAAAAAAS4/ht_xTbBTFn8/s400/Blankets+035.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As the Soldiers started marching into the hangar, we all stood up and held our Welcome Home sign. Travis was in the second to last row of Soldiers to march into the hangar and we all screamed and cried when we saw him! I think he was surprised to see us, he gave us his little smile of recognition and bowed his head.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdKZYHp41I/AAAAAAAAASw/-JptMTJKczc/s1600-h/Blankets+037.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275767288319566674" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7f1ocRMJ0oA/STdKZYHp41I/AAAAAAAAASw/-JptMTJKczc/s400/Blankets+037.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Soldiers standing at attention during Homecoming Ceremony.

First of all, my home computer took a nose dive and became infected with a virus. I was not able to update our website and keep you up on when we were making our road trip to Kansas and I apologize to those of you who were checking. My computer should be up and running tonight. We drove to Kansas last week and delivered the Freedom Blankets to the Soldiers at Ft. Riley. It was a wonderful experience!!!!

I am so elated and so proud of all of you for your support of our military members and this service project. So many have come to together, families, friends, neighbors, strangers, schools, auxiliaries, clubs, church groups, boy scouts, girl scouts, current and former military members (Army, Air Force and Marines). We are so blessed to live in the USA and enjoy so many freedoms! We are blessed to be among so many good people! We are blessed that our family members will be home with us again, soon! THANK YOU ALL! GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES!!! We will continue to update this website with the number of Freedom Blankets that are still coming in. Please know that each blanket will be given to a Military Member in appreciation of their service to our country. We will be traveling to Ft. Riley, Kansas to deliver all your blankets sometime around Thanksgiving. We will be taking pictures and will post them on this website. So, please stay in touch with us. We are looking forward to our Soldiers coming home!!
