I have yet to try this in-game...been using UAV, Hunter Killer, and the Guardian mostly. This thing looks cool, but I thought it was gonna be made out of more durable material. It's made out of styrofoam or something (did I spell that correctly?)

I believe that no matter what your thoughts are on our current military action, it's still important to show our men and women that we care and are thinking about them. Little luxuries from home go a long way towards morale.

Students from St. Stephens Lutheran School turn donated goodies from North Carolina businesses into care packages at Hackney Service Merchandisers in Hickory, North Carolina for deployed North Carolina National Guard Soldiers via the NCNG Soldiers & Airmen Assistance Fund, Jan. 31, 2018. Members of Soldiers and Airmen Fund and retired NCNG leaders Air National Guard Col. Steven Martin and Army National Guard Sgt. Maj. Dennis Roach and Col. Drew Goodwin helped plan the event with Hickory businessman and retired Army Reserve Command Sgt. Maj. Dean Cline Sr. Hackney provided storage space for the $250,000 worth of snacks and comfort items. The 23 St. Stephens' students made quick work of loading up the nearly 500 care packages soon to be shipped to deployed NCNG Soldiers worldwide. Cline used years of experience in shipping and his business contacts to get donations for the packages. "You have to know how it works, connections mean everything," said Cline. In less than 2 hours the last package is taped shut, one for each deployed Soldier. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Robert Jordan / Released)

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dozens of Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined members of veteran services organizations to honor the families of fallen heroes during the 6th Annual Operation: Love Letters event conducted March 24, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic School in Orlando.
Hosted by the Orlando Survivor Outreach Services, a U.S. Army community support program dedicated to helping families cope with grief from losing loved ones who have served their country. Operation: Love Letters provides a forum of fellowship for family members to share their memories of the deceased through food, games, music, arts and crafts. Conceived in Orlando in 2013, this local activity has transformed into a U.S. Army sponsored flagship program for the entire nation with international reach.
The event commenced with full military honors as the 143d ESC’s color guard and the Patriot Riders Guard led the opening ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner. The color guard then set up a Fallen Comrade table and conducted a “13 Folds” ceremony to honor all American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Miles Espaillat, the youngest of three sons of Maj. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, lit the candle on the Fallen Comrade Table. Espaillat’s father served as the commanding general of the 143d ESC from 2014-2016. He died of a heart attack April 7, 2017, while serving as general officer for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve.
After the opening ceremony, the family members shared their most cherished memories of their son, daughter, parent or spouse. Some brought framed photos while others baked their loved ones’ favorite dessert. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined several family members in creating crafts and writing love letters.
Representatives from the USO, Veterans Affairs, Operation Military Matters and the Orlando Vet Center also attended the festivities to share the many free resources such as grief counseling, care packages, and financial assistance tailored to families coping with the loss of a loved one.
Operation: Love Letters concluded with its most cherished tradition as Soldiers, families and volunteers gathered at the school’s courtyard to release dozens of balloons with messages addressed to their fallen heroes.

RALEIGH, N.C. –Volunteers with BB&T’s Light House Project, a community service program, teamed with Military Missions in Action Fill the Footlocker Program, pack more than 1,500 care packages for deployed North Carolina National Guard Soldiers. “It is nice to give back to those who supported me when I deployed,” said BB&T Lead Identity Access Management Developer Ricky Blue, also an Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 in the North Carolina National Guard who returned from deployment with NCNG’s 113th Sustainment Brigade last year. The BB&T volunteers provided the planning, labor and bought the gifts but MMIA provided the transport and shipping through donations for postage. “The program brings together businesses and volunteers for a wonderful cause,” said Mendy Rausch, MMIA executive assistant.

It's like we're coming right at you! You know Flickr 3D is only a matter of time.
Seriously though...Duane and I saw "Born to be Wild" at our local IMAX theater. Didn't see it yet? Well, don't just sit there, get thee to a theater! www.imax.com/borntobewild/ (I've seen it twice already)
Omigoodness, I laughed until I had tears coming down my face...I cried um, until I had tears coming down my face. It tells the story of two amazing women and their sanctuaries for orphans of the baby elephant and orangutan kind. Now I have to figure out a way to raise baby elephants and orangutans. hmmmmmmmm.
Here's another link that takes you to each sanctuaries webpage. www.imax.com/borntobewild/carepackage/
