1 FULL BATTLE RATTLE E-NEWS WORDS FROM THE FRONT: I thank you for what you do. Your support actually goes a long way and it lets us know here that there are still people back in the states that are behind us and support us. We are a long way from home out here busting our butts off, but what you do is more than words can ever describe. Your support of us deployed soldiers tells a lot about the good old fashioned American spirit. we are lucky to have such wonderful people like you that are there for us even though we are so far away. Thank You. Kandahar, Camp Nathan Smith - AFGHANISTAN Dear AdoptaPlatoon Support Team: It s been an unusually hot summer for many of us here at home.but have you realized that our Troops were living in 140+ degrees in Afghanistan and Iraq? Now imagine them being in full battle rattle and dealing with enemy fire day in and day out. They are on duty 24-7 and always have to watch their backs and their battle buddies as well. One good thing is the weather is starting to cool down for them. And, another good thing is we, at AdoptaPlatoon, are always here for them. We Americans always come through for our Troops So please, won't you read AAP's Full Battle Rattle E-News and see how you can help! AMERICANS ARE NEEDED FOR PLATOON SUPPORT
2 This time our most urgent request is asking for Platoon Support and for MARRIED/FAMILYSUPPORTERS! Americans can send support to platoons either as an on-going basis, or by sharing a platoon with other supporters, or by sending a one-time or occasional care package. One box of goodies to a platoon of Troops can be shared among a platoon of Soldiers or Marines and your kindness makes a huge difference in their lives as they serve on our behalf. What does Platoon Support entail? Please sign up today at info@adoptaplatoon.org and let our Troops know that YOU STAND BEHIND THEM! Supporting a group of Troops could be as small as 20 or as large as 50. Sending a monthly care package for a platoon to share with each other or sending a one-time care package for a platoon to share with each other. Who can participate? Individuals, Families, Groups, Companies, Schools, etc., can support a Platoon.
3 We also have married Service Members asking for support. As you know, AAP's policy is not to link single supporters to married Service Members. We are in great need of married individuals / families, or older singles (over 50) to support deployed married Service Members. Our deployed married Service Members also need our Nation's support so please, if your family can reach out and embrace a married Soldier or Marine, and you are already an approved AAP supporter, write to info@adoptaplatoon.org and let us know that you will
4 "step up to the plate" and add one more member to your family! Let us know that you can send a minimum of one (1) care package per month and that you will pledge to stand behind your married Service Member deployed in harm's way! As a current supporter, if you can pen-pal or adopt another married Service Member, and you fit the criteria, please contact us right away! You can have up to 4 total Service Members at a time. Be sure to include all y our info that we ask for below. We always need SINGLE ADOPTERS! Although we currently have enough single pen pals to meet the need for Troop support, AAP has many single Service Members waiting to be ADOPTED meaning weekly letters AND a minimum pledge of one (1) monthly care packages. Please let us know if you are able to ADOPT another single Service Member. You can have up to 4 total Service Members at a time. Remember what is needed to participate in AdoptaPlatoon! Please send an with your name, address, marital status, age, and last name of your currently assigned Soldier, and what kind of additional support you think you can do. We will work with you. But remember the info we ask for is needed so please be sure to include it in your reply so we don t have to write back to you again. If you are a current supporter whose assigned Service Member has deployed home, please sign up to embrace another Service Member! Your support is so appreciated by our Nation's men and women who serve on our behalf. Let s do our part America! While our Troops serve overseas in dangerous conditions, let us here at home make sure that we are SUPPORTING THEM! Send your information to info@adoptaplatoon.org and put the following in the subject line: CURRENT SUPPORTER if you are currently supporting a Soldier/Platoon, or put REPEAT SUPPORTER if you are an AAP Approved Supporter but are not currently supporting a Soldier/Platoon at this time. Please do not submit a new application if you are an Approved AAP Supporter. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!
5 IMPORTANT REMINDERS: We only use for our s. Some people are using an older one and that will NOT reach us. Please only use Also, please remember to only use the United States Postal Service (USPS) to ship care packages to assigned deployed Soldiers/Marines/Platoon to Afghanistan or Iraq. WE MUST CONTINUE PUTTING SMILES ON THE FACES OF OUR TROOPS
6 BELOW is a quick update on ways to support our Troops:
7 Pen-pal (weekly correspondence) or Adopt (weekly correspondence AND monthly care packages) with an individual Service Member; Adopt a group or Platoon of Troops (you let us know how many you can support); Send a one-time care package to a group or Platoon of Service Members (you let us know how many you can support); Participate in one of our annual campaigns with Arline Grant, our campaign director. Right now we are running our Halloween Campaign, but will be getting ready for our Winter Campaigns shortly. Another way to help is to spread AdoptaPlatoon s mission letting everyone in your community know that our Troops need us and they do not deserve to be forgotten! We are in an urgent situation with newly deployed Troops and platoons arriving in dangerous areas in Afghanistan and Iraq and they are signing up quickly to be supported. They are just asking to receive mail from back home their America our America -- They are asking to be remembered and saying, "Please don't forget us! We're here and we need mail from home!"...
8 Halloween Bags donated by AAP's financial donors are being packed and ready to ship to Iraq and Afghanistan! REMEMBER, if you are already a current, repeat approved supporter with AAP, it is NOT necessary to submit a new application. Please just the requested information to info@adoptapaltoon.org and you'll be ready to go!

FROM: C CO 26TH BSB- IRAQ AMERICANS STICKING THIS OUT TOGETHER! We are good to go, end of August (we don't need any more packages). We're packing up and getting ready to head
13 home. You can tell the volunteers, thank-you VERY much. Excellent program, I met some really nice and kind people. Americans sticking this out together. Thank-you for all that you do. God Bless You! ***** FROM: Task Force Saber - D Trp 2-17 CAV - AFGHANISTAN I would like to say Thank You so much for all the packages that you sent us. I got over 50 boxes within 2 days. I have taken some pictures of the Freebie area to send you guys but the Comp won t let me send them out right now. Majority of the stuff didn t even make it on to the shelf or if it did it didn t stay on the shelf very long. Your packages were a HUGE mural booster and I would like to thank everyone from the packages from home team, you guys are doing great supporting deployed Soldiers and we appreciate it. ***** FROM: 3-69 AR (Medical Platoon)- JSS War Eagle- IRAQ I also want to take the opportunity to express a heart filled thank you for all the support you and the organization has extended and given. You don't know how much we really appreciate what the organization does for us during our deployment and making life easier being away from home. Again, thank you and GOD bless. ***** FROM: 43D SB/Chaplain- AFGHANISTAN We appreciate everything that everybody is sending the troops out here. On behalf of my Commander and the Unit we can't say thank you enough for the things that we get. We are so busy with different mission and things and we take everything to heart when we get them. Thank you very much and God bless all of you. ***** FROM: 455 EOSS/IN - AFGHANISTAN Thanks so much for taking care of our deployed loved ones! You guys have been such a tremendous morale booster. The goodies you sent got shared around the entire 455 EOSS/IN unit and brought smiles to a lot of faces. Keep up the good fight. If there is anything I can do to assist you in your efforts, please do not hesitate to let me know. By keeping up the morale of the deployed folks you've indirectly helped keep up the morale of those of us at home station. Thank you so much.
14 ***** FROM: 2/9 H&S CO (COMM PLT) UNIT AFGHANISTAN First I would like to thank you to all of your supporters for what you do. We receive your care packages yesterday and it was like Christmas for those Marines. between the pillows and snacks they were overjoyed so much. The Marines themselves will each be sending letters back to those who left addresses on the cards. To thank them for their support. But I was taken back as this is my 7th deployment and I have never seen anything like that before and all I can say is thank you. Well I just wanted to let you know we received the care packages and again thank you for everything that you and your group does. ***** FROM: FSC 1/64 AR - IRAQ I thank you and the members of your organization for the support that has motivated and cared for my Soldiers and I. It is due to fine folks such as ya'll that makes this job worth having. With lots of love from the troops of HHC Maintenance!! ***** FROM: CLR-15 FWD - Charlie Surgical Company - Afghanistan Thanks ever so much for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING you & the folks at Adopt-a-Platoon have been doing for us throughout this deployment. All of the goodies & nice to have things that folks have sent us have been wonderful. You have truly struck a chord of heartfelt thanks from this old, Navy Doc. FYI, we got so many boxes of great things from Placentia Linda Hospital in California, that we were able to spread the boxes of goodies out to about 6 separate medical locations. Several were totally surprised since they are not directly part of the Surgical Company, but they are good folks themselves & very busy caring for the Marines before we get them here. They LOVED the packages (One young Doc told me that he never expected to be so happy to see bags of powdered milk!). THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT Placentia Linda Hospital, California ( Interesting News!
