Me and my friend Dana, who some of you have met, were talking today and we came up with an idea. We were thinking of how we could help our soldiers overseas keep in contact with their families. And this is what we came up with.
After seeing my Uncle ,who is a Colonel in the Army, at my grandfathers funneral last week and talking to him about what the soldiers wanted, he told me " A way to call home."
Well Dana and I thought about some ideas, and we came up with CCFOS (Calling Cards for Our Soldiers). I was thinking about possibly getting a group of people together to meet some where and cruise up to Cloudland Canyon (UPPER LEFT CORNER) for a picnic/BBQ and everyone would donate a $20 Calling Card and a dish or something for the BBQ.

After all the cards are collected I will send them all to my Uncle in Iraq to pass out to his soldiers in his command. I have not set a date or time yet, I am wanting to see who will be interested in helping out.
Please post here to show how much you can support our friends and families overseas fighting for our freedom. This would meam mountains to my Uncle and his troops.
Also we can take pics of the people and their cars to send with the cards, so the troops can actually see who sent them instead of just a letter from a stranger.
Please help us out, and lets show how we are more than just gear heads, but people that actually care about what they are doing.
Thank You.
