New to SITE - I need help!

[seat17b]

I am the daughter of a career Naval Officer who spent 30 years in the service of our country from WWII up to and including Vietnam and continue to be a proud, and very patriotic American.

My objective for getting on this site is to see if I can ]locate the names and addresses of military personnel serving in the Iraq and Afghanistan so my local 912 PROJECT group here in Columbus, OHIO can start mailing packages to guys and gals from OHIO on a regular basis.

Personally, I have been doing this for the past 5 years, but mainly to family members and friends of mine serving in the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan. Now that we (The Columbus 9-12 Project) are getting more organinzed, we want to make this a Central Ohio Effort and have more people help collect those items needed (or wanted) by those serving our country and living in less than home-like situations to show these patriots and heros that America is behind them, no matter what political persuasion.

If there is anyone who can help me get to the right people in each of the branches of the armed forces of the USA so I can gather names/addresses of all those serving from OHIO I would be ever so grateful. We are working feverishly wanting to try and get this project active and running by Memorial Day which is only 22 days away so we need to work fast!

Thanks so much, and GOD BLESS AMERICA and those serving on our behalf in the military.
