UAE gets flag flown over Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan

[Guest guest]

Today in the mail I received a special package from Afghanistan. In my hand I

have a triangular folded flag (which smells like campfires) with a color

certificate says WE WILL NEVER FORGET on top and night pic of twin

towers.........09/11/01 in the corner; it says:

 

" The Flag of the United States of America

This is to certify that the accompanying American Flag was flown in the face of

the enemy over the American compound, camp Phoenix, Afghanistan by the Officers,

NCOs and Solders of CJTF Phoenix during " Operation Enduring Freedom " on the 21st

day of December, 2009 in honor of

United Aromatherapy Effort, signed Joseph Hoffman, Col. Chief of Staff and

Brigadier General Lawrence E. Dudney, Jr. " "

 

 

The letter accompanying from the office of the above reads:

" Dear Friends

 

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your continued

support of the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and the Georgia Army National

Guard.

 

The Aromatherapy items that you sent have been distributed amongst the Soldiers,

Sailors, Marines, Airman and Coalition forces. It has been a huge success. You

are the unsung heroes of the home front, whose ongoing support is so important

to our success here; you all truly exempt the American spirit.

 

As a symbol of my gratitude, and on behalf of all the men and women of the 48th

Infantry Brigade Joint Task Force Phoenix IX, Combat Team please accept this

American flag, which was flown in your honor over Patriot Square, Camp Phoenix,

Afghanistan on December 21st 2009

Lawrence E. Dudney, Commanding Brigadier General, US ARMY. " "

this is very exciting, I am not sure what to do with it, I keep smelling it....I

put some close up photos on our Facebook group.

 

January NEWS Currently we are collecting valentines for troops, any kind and

sort, handmade or bought. They should be made out to any soldier, male and

female to let them know we love them. We are including some perfume donations

with these but could use more cards and donations to go with them. We are

suggesting $1 per card as donation to help with postage. Please ship direct to

Sylla at address below ASAP- they need to be on the way by Feb 1. Thanks for all

the support.

I have put up the pics here http://unitedaromatherapy.org/flagnews.pdf so you

can go see it! I figured out how to make a pdf with pics then upload that till I

can get the gallery working. I think I put them in the AFTE group UAE files too.

 

I am putting the Flag in a case with the letters in frames and sending it off to

Geraldine in Shreveport to start, then off to the donators if you guys want it.

Let me know- you can smell the country in the flag, I hope it doesnt lose

that..... abd ike Marcia said you can take pics in your work areas with all who

helped and we will put together and send them a pic of all with some more

supplies.

 

Dont forget we need any little perfume samples especially, or small aromatic

delights for Valentines Day shipment to Phoenix. Get the kids involved; you

could include or a card or two and send them on for the Jan 30 cut off date.

Geraldine's getting Albertsons to donate candy!

Hey Marta

 

well, lets see....right now we are collecting valentines for troops, asking $1

each, would you be interested in facilitating that project on a local level?

 

we always need more product to send, and we are looking to form teams to work

locally on military if any in your area.

 

We always need promotion and exposure, what do you think you would like to do?

I have all five branches of military in my state. I'm trying to get things

settled with my office opening so I can figure out what I can be counted on to

assist with. Pope AFB and Ft. Bragg are about 90min or so from me. Camp

Lejeune is probably more like 4hrs drive. There's a National Guard office 45min

away in Greensboro, and I have no clue where the Coast Guard is actually

stationed. Additionally, I have a good friend that is an RN at the VA in Durham

and is in a pulmonary type department, but she's leaving in a month or so to

deliver a baby. (We have another buddy that was head of the ER at Lejeune prior

to his first deployment to Iraq. After his second deployment he transferred

positions so he wouldn't have to deploy again--i believe he's retiring this year

or next....he only had 3 or 4yrs left when he was first deployed; his son was

deployed to Afghanistan while he was on his second deployment to Iraq). I feel

like I'm in a great spot to assist UAE, I just need to get my act together and

balance all these blasted hats I'm wearing so I can actually assist. *wry grin*

YEAH Jessica! NC's Ft. Bragg (Fayette nam, Jim calls it) is my home state, I

grew up in Raleigh!! Both my much older bros were Airborne and I saw my first

jump at age 4 and got my " wings " at 5 (bro gave to me to wear on my neck like

all the big girls did..still have those.)

 

so yes you are in a perfect position to get involved. I suggest you contact the

ERMI team http://ermassage.org/ who are in Asheville surrounds and hook up with

them for training- are you LMT?? then you could perhaps work Ft. Brag under the

UAE banner, even if you are not LMT you could distribute UAE supplies and help

with their ptsd!! the hard part is getting in the door, and as we get better

known we will be invited in, thus getting our teams ready now.

 

Otherwise, just helping with fundraising is a big one that anyone can do-

promote awareness in your businesses, takeing donations from anyone: local

businesses like Albertsons/Lowes, etc like GZ got them to donate candy.....and

like beauty supply (they have lots of promotional small bottles of hair/skincare

products), health food stores and wellness centers, everyone has some connection

with the Military and everyone has a little something they could dontate to help

the troops well being. If everyone reading this gathered one card/$ and some

shampoo or shower gel, or chocolate, I could supply half of Phoenix for

Valentines day. And we could continue shipping by recouping our postage with

$donations. Offer a day of % of profit goes to UAE......or an online special, or

a treatment special (every treatments gives X$ to UAE)It only takes one

idea.......one creative thought of what YOU can do....how YOU can help, what is

in your capacity to do that you would like. For me doing this is a feeling like

no other and quite addicting I must say, so bewarned!!!!

 

and dont worry about balancing hats, I have done it for many years! The

important things DO get done. I always say " busy people get things done " , or as

someone told me when I apologized that my office was colorfully cluttered (as

the reporter said), " it takes a bit of cluttering when you have projects

going..... "

 

thanks for all the input!

Yes, LMBT. Opened my office Wednesday and am behind on press releases, etc.

*sigh* I also homeschool my children. We dropped scouts for the moment, I was

the Bear's den leader.

 

ERMI is on the list. I swear I need to win the lottery I never play to do all

the CEU's I want to. *lol*

 

Raleigh has a Lego store now! can't tell I'm a mom of boys, eh? *lol* we

originally arrived in NC in 2000---it's flabberghasting how much has changed in

the short time we've been here. Oh, and Charlotte has IKEA, opened last year.

Those are the two most talked about events in my circles.

 

I'll work on my tardy press-release and see if I can rework it so it includes my

open house, the UAE valentine's effort, and the Kangaroo Care

presentation/lecture I'm hosting in February.

 

Shall we start thinking " easter baskets " as well--at least in determining

dates/deadlines?

 

Is there a UAE logo that we can incorporate in flyers/signs indicating that

we're a donation/drop-off site for UAE?

grew up in Raleigh!! Both my much older bros were Airborne and I saw my first

jump at age 4 and got my " wings " at 5 (bro gave to me to wear on my neck like

all the big girls did..still have those.)

 

so yes you are in a perfect position to get involved. I suggest you contact the

ERMI team http://ermassage.org/ who are in Asheville surrounds and hook up with

them for training- are you LMT?? then you could perhaps work Ft. Brag under the

UAE banner, even if you are not LMT you could distribute UAE supplies and help

with their ptsd!! the hard part is getting in the door, and as we get better

known we will be invited in, thus getting our teams ready now.

 

Otherwise, just helping with fundraising is a big one that anyone can do-

promote awareness in your businesses, takeing donations from anyone: local

businesses like Albertsons/Lowes, etc like GZ got them to donate candy.....and

like beauty supply (they have lots of promotional small bottles of hair/skincare

products), health food stores and wellness centers, everyone has some connection

with the Military and everyone has a little something they could dontate to help

the troops well being. If everyone reading this gathered one card/$ and some

shampoo or shower gel, or chocolate, I could supply half of Phoenix for

Valentines day. And we could continue shipping by recouping our postage with

$donations. Offer a day of % of profit goes to UAE......or an online special, or

a treatment special (every treatments gives X$ to UAE)It only takes one

idea.......one creative thought of what YOU can do....how YOU can help, what is

in your capacity to do that you would like. For me doing this is a feeling like

no other and quite addicting I must say, so bewarned!!!!

 

and dont worry about balancing hats, I have done it for many years! The

important things DO get done. I always say " busy people get things done " , or as

someone told me when I apologized that my office was colorfully cluttered (as

the reporter said), " it takes a bit of cluttering when you have projects

going..... "

 

thanks for all the input!

Re: UAE gets flag flown over Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan

 

 

I have all five branches of military in my state. I'm trying to get things

settled with my office opening so I can figure out what I can be counted on to

assist with. Pope AFB and Ft. Bragg are about 90min or so from me. Camp

Lejeune is probably more like 4hrs drive. There's a National Guard office 45min

away in Greensboro, and I have no clue where the Coast Guard is actually

stationed. Additionally, I have a good friend that is an RN at the VA in Durham

and is in a pulmonary type department, but she's leaving in a month or so to

deliver a baby. (We have another buddy that was head of the ER at Lejeune prior

to his first deployment to Iraq. After his second deployment he transferred

positions so he wouldn't have to deploy again--i believe he's retiring this year

or next....he only had 3 or 4yrs left when he was first deployed; his son was

deployed to Afghanistan while he was on his second deployment to Iraq). I feel

like I'm in a great spot to assist UAE, I just need to get my act together and

balance all these blasted hats I'm wearing so I can actually assist. *wry grin*

Re: UAE gets flag flown over Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan

 

Hey Marta

 

well, lets see....right now we are collecting valentines for troops, asking $1

each, would you be interested in facilitating that project on a local level?

 

we always need more product to send, and we are looking to form teams to work

locally on military if any in your area.

 

We always need promotion and exposure, what do you think you would like to do?

UAE gets flag flown over Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today in the mail I received a special package from Afghanistan. In my hand

I have a triangular folded flag (which smells like campfires) with a color

certificate says WE WILL NEVER FORGET on top and night pic of twin

towers.........09/11/01 in the corner; it says:

 

 

 

" The Flag of the United States of America

 

This is to certify that the accompanying American Flag was flown in the face

of the enemy over the American compound, camp Phoenix, Afghanistan by the

Officers, NCOs and Solders of CJTF Phoenix during " Operation Enduring Freedom "

on the 21st day of December, 2009 in honor of

 

United Aromatherapy Effort, signed Joseph Hoffman, Col. Chief of Staff and

Brigadier General Lawrence E. Dudney, Jr. " "

 

 

 

The letter accompanying from the office of the above reads:

 

" Dear Friends

 

 

 

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your

continued support of the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and the Georgia Army

National Guard.

 

 

 

The Aromatherapy items that you sent have been distributed amongst the

Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airman and Coalition forces. It has been a huge

success. You are the unsung heroes of the home front, whose ongoing support is

so important to our success here; you all truly exempt the American spirit.

 

 

 

As a symbol of my gratitude, and on behalf of all the men and women of the

48th Infantry Brigade Joint Task Force Phoenix IX, Combat Team please accept

this American flag, which was flown in your honor over Patriot Square, Camp

Phoenix, Afghanistan on December 21st 2009

 

Lawrence E. Dudney, Commanding Brigadier General, US ARMY. " "

this is very exciting, I am not sure what to do with it, I keep smelling

it....I put some close up photos on our Facebook group.

 

 

 

January NEWS Currently we are collecting valentines for troops, any kind and

sort, handmade or bought. They should be made out to any soldier, male and

female to let them know we love them. We are including some perfume donations

with these but could use more cards and donations to go with them. We are

suggesting $1 per card as donation to help with postage. Please ship direct to

Sylla at address below ASAP- they need to be on the way by Feb 1. Thanks for all

the support.

<Shall we start thinking " easter baskets " as well--at least in determining

dates/deadlines?>

 

GOOD thinking Jessica, what should we send for Easter with cards??....the

Valentine Fundraiser I created overnight so I can get another local news

article- and I have teachers who can participate. Your kids are the first place

to start, unless they are too little to color or create!! Im mostly looking for

hand made by kids- I remember in the church at Ground Zero after 911, they had

every room covered in childrens cards to the workers......I dont suppose

soldiers will plaster them around but its a cute thing to do/give/receive.

 

>Is there a UAE logo that we can incorporate in flyers/signs indicating that

we're a donation/drop-off site for UAE?

 

yes you can use the page header of the site (not sure how, perhaps click and

save pic??), until we get a new one which incorporates the military

part......that is also on the Facebook group- I am also putting up this week a

template for our postcards that are available for anyones use in downloading and

printing out, they are in publisher so hopefully most people can use them for

promotions.

What I know:

 

- animals(veterinarian)

- computers(DBA for 4 years) - web design

 

- what products you need to buy and from where ( I suppose you use the best)

how much for how many ?

- may be able to do some advertising at the shelter where I work = do you have

any advertising material ???- let's say - 1$ for the troops and so on. I would

like to be specific in what I ask and for what battalion and where . I have to

talk about my manager for this but I think it can be done.

 

 

regards
