First, let me introduce myself and the reason for this Email. I am a member of the Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter of the Special Forces Association (Chapter 31) and Committee member of "Operation Gum Drop" ( www.operationgumdrop.org).
Operation Gum Drop was formed to provide support for our Elite Warriors (the Green Berets) who are fighting in the War against terror in both Afghanistan and Iraq. OGD was formed to supply care packages to actual Special Forces teams that are deployed. At present, we have delivered over 1600 lbs of care packages to teams that we have contact with. But, this is an ongoing effort and we are constantly attempting to raise funds to assist us in shipping these packages overseas.
The purpose of this Email is to ask for a monetary donation to raise funds so that we can continue sending care packages to the deployed teams.
We believe that this support program is different in 2 ways:
1. Our packages are sent only to Special Forces teams that are deployed.
2. Our packages are focused on what the team members want and need (e.g. no toothpaste).
As our organization is made up entirely of retired or former Special Forces soldiers, we have direct communications with the teams that we support and all of us have been in a similar deployments.
Please feel free to visit our website (www.operationgumdrop.org) to verify (vet) our validity or you may contact us via Email at james@operationgumdrop.org. We look forward to hearing from you and hope that you will be able to help.
Regards,
Phil Stone
