sister in Iraq

hey girls!

I just sent an email out a few days ago to this effect, on the listserve Pam runs. The response was amazing and I was really encouraged to keep at it -- I knew our sisterhood was strong but it's really something to SEE it in action!

One of our sisters, Meredith, just made it to Iraq. She was called up a few months ago (she's Army Reserves) but just arrived the day before Valentine's Day. She's having a really rough time. She's my age (22) and was a semester away from finishing school, and it sounds like being over there is really scary, strange, and lonely at times.

If ANYONE at ALL would be willing to send her a note, a card, a care package, or adopt her as a chapter, that would be WONDERFUL. I know it would mean so much to her. I can't imagine what it's like to be over there now, at our age -- I mean, I'm having enough trouble keeping my stuff together HERE, and I'm not in a foreign country OR getting shot at!

Please please PM me if you can "adopt" Meredith. I'm trying to get as many sisters as possible to send love, 'cause I figure she can use it.

Biznitch, why didn't you tell me about this? Call me. We'll talk about it.

HotDamnImAPhiMu · #7 04-03-2004, 10:58 PM

Shut yer piehole. I did too, back in Jan when she found out she was going!

I'll call you anyway though. Maybe we can go on a date.

Hot! You didn't call me. But that's ok, I was doingthe last night of my show with my crappy costar. Who left his belt and cell phone in my car last night. No, it'snot as intruiging as it sounds.

How long is Meredith gonna be in Iraq?

HotDamnImAPhiMu · #9 04-04-2004, 03:12 PM

I did too call you, just didn't leave a msg. I knew you were acting though so it's OK. How'd the last night go? Tell your smelly costar to keep his personal effects to himself.

Meredith'll be in Iraq for "six to nine months" although from what I hear that should have finger quotes around it.

thank you thank you THANK YOU to so many sisters who PMed me about sending something Meredith's way. I know it means a lot to her, and it means a lot to me too, to see so much support spread this way!

I would love to write her!! My boyfriend spent 8 months in Iraq and letters meant a lot to him, so I would like to write her. This is more than supporting our troops, this is supporting our sisters!!Just let me know what the address is. Thanks!!
