After our first run of Trek Care Packages we are being asked to send more items. We are supporting MWRs Centers in Afganistan and in Iraq with items to keep Troops Entertained. We have given out over 200 Star Trek Books (All Paperback books) and Video Games Xbox and PC Games . 60 Xbox and over 100 PC Games donated by Take 2 Interactive.

Now we started and we are being requested for more items cause this is getting popular with the Troops. The List with the most popular Requested items are listed here http://trektothetroops.org/tcp/index.html

Trek Care Packages is a Joint Venture with Trek to the Troops and American Legion Post 122 of Cordes Lakes, AZ We get the items together and Legion Post helps us send these items to troops that request them.

If your interested in helping with this you can send me a measage on here or email info@trektothetroops.org

By the Way just to remind everyone Trek to the Troops website has moved from .com to Trektothetroops.org cause we now fall under the Non Profit Status of www.soldiersangels.org in which we have joined forces in Supporting the troops who are far from home.

Thank you,

TO the possible Critics of this:
This is about supporting the troops nothing polictical just in the supporting the troops and not of anyway allieing on the issue of War. It's about supporting and showing the troops support from the Community here at home. There is no need to discussing issues on this topic or politicts.

Thank you

Without commenting on the geopolitics; it is important to show support for the troops if not as soldiers, then as people seperated from their homes and families by circumstances beyond their control. To that end, I'll pin this one for you Chris

Da Nada. But Chris, given the fact I know you donate your time to this, I was wondering if you have been posting your time in the UN volunteer day thread. I bet you could boost the US numbers quite a bit

[christrekkie]

No i hadn't been doing that. Time is hard to count since most of my time is during normal Everyday things. I guess I could try to figure out how many hours of event time and stuff like that and put that in there.

Not counting the Trek Care Packages.

Chris, do the Playstation games have to be new?

[christrekkie]

No the games don't have to be new, But in good shape. Even the movies can be previously played they just have to be workable for the troops. Newer the movies and Classics that troops would enjoy.

Newer the better though newer releases are really popular cause most of the soldiers are deployed for year at a time so more then likly hasn't seen the movie over there untill they come out on DVDs ect.

"Star Trek: New Worlds", based out of Surrey B.C. Canada is 100% behind you. If there's anything I can do to promote this further, let me know.
