Where to begin?

I should begin with Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse because without her none of this would have happened. Two things, when I asked her to co-ordinate this effort, I didn’t know she was going through radiation therapy. One, it didn’t stop her from accepting and two it didn’t slow her down. The price she paid was spending Friday night in the hospital with radiation pneumonia. I’ll never be able to thank her enough.

Another group is that core of Kossacks PDNC works with on these blogathons. They’re all incredible. Thank you guys!

And then there’s the work you saw in every diary by JekyllnHyde, his calender of the schedules were great and useful for everyone.

And of course there’s my sidekick in these things Onomastic. Nana Ono, she mothers and nurtures each and every diary. She stays with them from launch, all the way through, until no one’s talking in them any longer. Thank you Ono!

Next to thank are all of those who read and recommended the diaries. From the bottom of the hearts of all the board members and volunteers who make this happen, Thank You!

And last and by far not the least are all of those wonderful people who made a donation. Words are insufficient to express our sincere gratitude for your generosity. Because of you, over $11,000.00 was raised in just five days.

I was going to do a long dissertation of how important Care Packages are to those deployed of confined to a VA hospital. But instead I’m going to use the words of Lisa Schaper. Lisa is the wife of LTC William S. “Clete” Schaper, the Battalion Commander of the unit we’re supporting this year. They’re an Engineering unit.

I asked Lisa to write something for us to give us her perspective. We have several kossacks who have written diaries for this series who are familiar with Lisa’s view. They’ll immediately relate, I think Lisa’s word’s will help the rest of us understand too.

A PORTRAIT OF THANKS  by Lisa Schaper, wife of LTC William S. Schaper

As my husband’s deployment date approached, I was anxious to get a family portrait made …. for obvious reasons. It had been on my checklist for months. And in just 14 days, our family would move to a new home 15 hours away, unpack, celebrate Christmas,(with the self-imposed planning, shopping, cooking, and parties that includes,) and say goodbye to daddy as he leads a battalion to Afghanistan for one year. And I really needed a family portrait.
My venture to find a photographer had been much more of an undertaking than I had imagined. You see, military families that move every 2 or so years don’t have these kinds of contacts, or local friends that can make recommendations. Online searches are more likely our course of action. So mine began. After months of searching, I was felt defeated. It was one of those things I just couldn’t erase from my checklist. “What if” it was my last chance?  (“What ifs” can kill you.)

Just four days before the move, I had lunch with a new friend; a new acquaintance really.  Our 10-year-old girls, Wilson and Savannah, were getting tight, and we moms were enjoying their fun!. Then the news came. “Savannah has written a song for Wilson.  It’s her interpretation of all that Wilson is going through preparing to say goodbye to her dad,” Savannah’s mom told me. “The song will be recorded for her upcoming CD.” She continued, “The exciting news is a top notch producer, Victor Milt, has requested you and your family be in the music video he is preparing to accompany the release of her song”  (Excuse me, did she just say music video? A professional producer? Isn’t that like a portrait in motion?)  I couldn’t help myself. I cried.

To simplify the story, that was Friday. On Monday, my family, all four of us, were shooting a music video, laughing and joking, and saying goodbye to daddy. We cried. Victor, the producer, cried. But it was a great day. Stuffed in the middle of the chaos, it gave us some time to hang out together and play, and “act” while some pictures and film were being made.  And if that wasn’t enough, at the end of the day Victor said to me, “Lisa, I’d like to donate to you a portrait from this day, as my way to say thanks for your sacrifice.” Yep, cried even harder this time.

My husband has been a soldier since 1988. In 24 years we’ve never lived on a base. We’ve moved 11 times and endured more than 5 deployments. Military families aren’t “organized” on post like we used to be. We’re not living beside others whose lives are interrupted like ours.  Our kids don’t go to school with kids whose parent is at war. Our neighbors eyes don’t say to ours, “I get it,” ‘cause they don’t. Communities are acquaintances, not homes.  If you’re lucky, friendships are close for a while, but we move on. Our military lifestyle does mean sacrifice. So when someone takes time to say thank you  …. whether it’s big or small, it can leave us speechless. When someone goes the extra mile to lend a hand to our families at home, we feel like they care. When your soldier calls home and talks about a care package received from a stranger, it’s priceless. It helps them go the extra mile.  It helps us, as families, take care of them, long-distance style.

A family portrait is invaluable to us as we await daddy’s safe return from war.  A care package might just tell a soldier in combat, “We know you’re there.  We recognize your sacrifice.  We care about taking care of you and you are important.”   And what soldier isn’t important?  And oh yes, “What if he doesn’t come home?”  Paint your own portrait of thank you today.

If you haven’t contributed there’s still time. If you have contributed, thank you.

12:51 PM PT: I missed publicly thanking Barbara Morrill and Markos for their very public support. From everyone associated with NFTT, Thank You.

Your public support has shown the world where you stand when it comes to supporting the military. Words are fine but action is what counts and your action helped produce these results.

My wife’s cousin, I’ll call her “Mary”, followed her father into the military. She did a couple of tours in Iraq then came home to help out with the family tomato farm in southern Indiana. Her father had developed a condition similar to but worse than Parkinson’s Disease and was no longer able to run the farm. Since Mary had gone to college to be a farmer, this was where she was meant to be.

Then she got the call. She was being called up from the reserves to do yet another tour. Her mother had recently had a terrible fall that injured her ankle and limited her mobility. Her father needed to be assisted in everything that he did including showering, eating, and using the toilet. So Mary put in for a hardship discharge so that she could continue to help her parents and keep the farm going.

She was denied.

While she was in Iraq this time around, I made sure to send her emails and even a CARE package because I wanted to let her know that I still thought about her a lot and cared about her more. It was pretty much all I could do.

When she came home, Mary was angry. She attended funerals of more than one of her war friends, dead from suicide. She spent time with other military veterans because, in her words, they were the only ones who understood what she had gone through and what she was going through.

I once made a comment to her that we weren’t at war WITH Iraq, we were in war IN Iraq and that we weren’t really at war, by definition, since there was no specific enemy. This was a huge mistake and she lashed out at me sharply. “You don’t think it’s war?” she flared. “You don’t know anything. You don’t understand. Nobody understands.”

Mary is living in a cabin in northern Montana now. She’s getting treatment for PTSD and the trauma she went through, but, as you might imagine, her family is terribly worried about her.

It’s for Mary that I volunteer for Netroots for the Troops. I may never understand what these brave men and women have gone through and are going through but I can surely help a few of them know that I am thinking about them and care about them and want to understand.

Last year, in addition to raising nearly $1,500 at Eclectablog for the effort, I was the ChiefCat Pootie Herder for Netroots for the Nation, organizing the volunteers that assembled the boxes.Here’s a video I shot during the assembly:

As I wrote in my recap diary last year, “It takes 364 days and 23 and half hours to get ready for this event and 33 minutes to make it happen.” You can be part of that 364 day, 23 and half hour effort that culminates in that 33 minute session of organized chaos as we assemble the CARE package.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Because pooties and woozles, as you well know, need to be kept busy. If we don’t keep them busy, they get into trouble.

In 2008, Netroots For the Troops® began raising money to send specially designed care packages to our soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sending our troops practical items like socks, gloves, and LED flashlights, as well as welcome reminders of home like DVD’s and CD’s, let them know that their sacrifice and personal heroism are not taken for granted. Netroots For the Troops® originated with the Daily Kos community which, much like my campaign for the presidency, had its genesis in opposition to the preemptive war in Iraq. Netroots For the Troops® is also a way to show that while we disagree with what our brave soldiers are asked to do without failing to recognize their valor, patriotism, and service to the country.

In 2003, I gave a foreign policy speech in Des Moines, Iowa. In that speech I pointed out that the administration had told us the risks of failing to go to war but had not examined or communicated the risks we would face if we invaded Iraq without any United Nations authorization and with our troops burdened with responsibility for the bulk of the fighting. I said that while I hoped our troops “will be welcomed like heroes and liberators in the streets of Baghdad,” there was a possibility “that Iraq will try to force our troops to fight house to house in the middle of cities – on its turf, not ours – where precision-guided missiles are of little use.” I warned that overconfidence would put our troops at risk:

Some people simply brushed aside these concerns, saying there were also a lot of dire predictions before the first Gulf War, and that those didn’t come true.We have learned through experience to have confidence in our armed forces – and that confidence is very well deserved.

But if you talk to military leaders, they will tell you there is a big difference between pushing back the Iraqi armed forces in Kuwait and trying to defeat them on their home ground.

There are limits to what even our military can do. Technology is not the solution to every problem. And we can’t assume the Iraqis have learned nothing over the past twelve years.

Unfortunately, our military became overextended and our soldiers faced repeated deployments in two deteriorating theaters of war. Despite the failures of civilian leadership our brave troops have continued to do everything that’s been asked of them, through multiple deployments, at great sacrifice to themselves and their families.

I am proud of our troops. Now, with new leadership and through their perseverance and sacrifice, we were able to end the war in Iraq, find and kill Osama bin-Laden, seriously weaken the Al-Quaeda, and begin ramping down our operations in Afghanistan. We need an America where the government does not question the patriotism of any American if they disagree with the President, and where Americans honor military service even when we question the wisdom and leadership of the mission.

We support the troops when we ask smart and tough questions before we put them in harm’s way. And we ought to support them while they are in the field doing their duty. That’s why I am proud to support the efforts of Netroots For the Troops®. Their goal is to raise $100,000 to pay for 600 care packages to be sent to our troops overseas.

Just a quick post about your “Netroots for Troops” annual care package drive:

Simply: I hope you know it matters. And please don’t just take my word for it, and yes, one of the things I love about the netroots is that you don’t take anyone’s word for it — you think for yourself, you debate, you disagree, and you make your own judgments — and that’s why this movement has changed politics and political dialogue.

But on this topic, I know of what I speak. In my Senate office I have a shelf of scrapbooks filled with emails, letters and photos from soldiers who have received the care packages, Christmas stockings, Easter baskets, and Halloween candy that our team, led by our office manager Mary, has been sending since American forces first arrived in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the words of the troops say it all.

One of my former interns, Army Second Lieutenant Rory McGovern writes: “It always helps to have a piece of home come in the mail.”

Army Private Jacob Adkins said: “I appreciate the fact that someone who I don’t even know supports me enough to send a care package.”

One of my favorite emails in our scrapbooks comes not from a soldier but from a soldier’s mother, Kathy Lavin, whose son Ryan received one of our care packages. Kathy writes to tell us that she can finally get a good night’s sleep because of the message she has just received from Ryan: “It’s almost time to take the candle out of the window mom. I am coming home. I love and miss you.”

That’s the power of a care package filled with pieces of home — because “support the troops” is not just a bumper sticker, not just a quick way to shut down a legitimate policy debate, but something real.

There are so many ways you’ve found to support the troops — from the debates here over how and when young Americans should be put in harm’s way — to the efforts I was proud to be a part of with you in 2006 to elect veterans to Congress from Patrick Murphy to Jim Webb — and this selfless effort to send brave Americans a little something from home. We’ve got a lot of work still to do, debates worth having, and fights worth fighting — but I’m grateful that during it all, you took a week again to send an important message of support to those who serve.

For military families, Deployment is a dirty word. It not only means our loved one will be leaving, first for weeks of training, then for months on end in Afghanistan or the surrounding area. It means they go to war.

When I was asked to write a diary to support the Netroots for the Troops fundraising drive, I thought, no problem, piece of cake. Boy, was I ever wrong. My rough draft led me to my cache of photos… I wanted to include a

picture of some things we had sent to my husband during his first deployment. I had taken a lot of photos because I didn’t want my husband to miss one minute of our childrens’ growing up. Our pictures show smiles, for the most part, but inside, each one of us was struggling in our own way. That trip down memory lane made me cry, big time – Deployment really is a dirty word. It puts stresses on families that are indescribable and that, years later, still haunt us.

But we don’t think of those things when deployment is staring us in the face. Instead, we look at the positives. My friend, Missy, has a great approach. She recently posted a blogabout finding 100 positive things about deployment. Here are ten of my favorites:

• Independence
• The t.v.remote all to yourself
• What better way to reconnect with your spouse by not taking for granted a 3 minute phone call or a quick email waiting for you every morning.  More is said in those quick moments than hours on a couch.
• Less Laundry
• It’s a good way to find out who your friends are!
• The sleep number bed can be set at 45 on BOTH sides!
• More frequent coffee dates with my girlfriends.
• I get to see my boys be proud of their father.
• One last family vacation before he leaves.
• I get the boys all to myself.

Spouses like both Missy and myself are practiced hands at finding survival strategies to get through it all. And laughter takes us a long way! It’s what we do to make deployment easier for our husbands, too, not just ourselves. If we’re handling life okay, they can focus on the job they were sent to do.

My husband’s first ‘real’ deployment happened while he was a commander. It just so happened that many of those under his command deployed at the same time, which isn’t always usual for the Air Force. That made me the commander’s wife, and the designated person to lead any squadron level support activities for families facing seperation. Mind you, no one ever said I had to do it. But it would take a rare commander’s spouse to ignore other families in need.

Our base offered a pre-deployment briefing for kids – men and women in military uniform ran our kids through a pretend deployment line handing out donated goodies and giving them tours of airplanes and military vehicles. Each kid took a picture with their mom or dad who was about to deploy and the Family Support Center had them printed on big pillow cases so that each child could have a picture of their mom and dad to take with them to bed each night.

They also offered pre-deployment briefings for spouses. Ours weren’t as much fun but we got to learn about the importance of powers-of-attorney and to hear about the process of notification if something goes wrong. A pre-deployment briefing is a good thing because we can ask some standard questions like Can we move out of base housing to go home and stay with family or If we have trouble with the car, who should we call? For our squadron, we handed out business cards with the name of our First Sergeant and the names of three spouses, myself and two senior NCO wives, and hoped to hell people would use them before things got too tough.

Our main concern was the kids. We tried to plan enough activities during deployment so that we could see the families with kids and make sure morale was pretty high. The base helped… they offered a once a month event where deployed families could eat dinner together cafeteria style. The base commander, several of the remaining squadron commanders, and the First Sergeants served the food and then tried their best to hang out and socialize. It is really hard for a young airman’s wife to make casual conversation with the ranking old guy on base, but attempts were made. Around the room were tables of things for kids to do, crafts to make and animals in tanks to look at. There were also information tables for the parents… yet more information to help us through deployment. Fun stuff for the kids, serious stuff for the parents. I wish now I would have recommended a massage chair in the corner! That would have been the best therapy for many of us!To help young kids understand the length of deployment, our squadron spouses handed out jars of M&M’s with a prescription label affixed to them - Prescription for Deployment – take one pill daily, when jar is almost empty, it’s time for Mom or Dad to come home. Of course, deployment return dates aren’t alway set in stone, so we would warn moms and dads to have a few spare candies just in case the jar needed a little adjustment toward the end. Military families should always remain flexible. Not everyone wanted to use the jars, but for some families they became a good way to count down the days. Little kids have a really hard time with calendars.

For the spouses, we gave them the traditional Blue Star to hang in their windows so that neighbors could know that they had a loved one at war. A group of us got together and cut out felt stars of blue and backgrounds of white and red. We assembled the small banners and then hung them from a gold cord. Occasionally, you will see banners with more than one star; they generally belong to a parent that has sent more than one child to the theatre. If you have seen one with a gold star in the center, that means the loved one did not return alive. It’s where the term Gold Star Mother comes from.

My favorite event happened about half way through our deployment. I arranged for our families to visit the Arts and Crafts center. Our off-base squadron sponsor, a local business man and his wife, funded the trip. Each child could paint one mug or one tile to send to their deployed mom or dad. We traced the hands of the youngest kids and used that as a template for the tiles. Kids grow so fast and it seemed a small way to send a little piece of that loveable little child to their mom or dad.And, finally, we filled care packages. I remember doing it twice during that short deployment of six months… twice as a group that is. As a family, we sent them more often. Funny thing is that half the time, my husband didn’t really need anymore but he would share with those that did. Not everyone has family to send care packages. Not every family can afford to do so – it costs $14.95 to mail a large Priority box to Afghanistan… and that’s before you’ve paid for the stuff to fill it. For some of our young married troops, that could buy 1/2 a jumbo box of diapers for the baby; over a six month deployment, it adds up to a lot of baby diapers. Imagine deployment for a year or more, which is what most Army and Marine families have to face every couple of years.

When you donate to Netroots for the Troops, you aren’t just helping the troops overseas, you’re helping families at home as well. We want what is best for our men and women in uniform and we know that those care packages bring smiles to their faces. It’s especially important this year – as missions are drawing down the American public increasingly forgets that we are at war and that we still have deployed military members overseas.And Netroots is taking it one step further this year, a step that makes me very proud to offer them my support. Your donation will help send care packages to wounded veterans. I can’t think of a better way to transition from war to peace time than by helping our veterans here at home!

If you haven’t already, please consider donating to this very worthy cause. If you have already donated, thank you so very much for caring! Can’t donate but want to do something to help – then spread the word! You don’t have to be a DailyKos member to help out this cause. Let your friends and family know about this fundraising effort and see if they are willing to give a little to help bring a smile to some faces that could use a boost of morale! I’ll be checking those Facebook and Twitter links up above and I hope to see high numbers!

I was the little sister. When I was three, my oldest brother, Don Reed, left for the military, followed in a few years by my brother John, and a few years later by my brother David. We were proud of “the boys,” as they were always called in our family. Proud, but always aware of what a military commitment meant.

Don Reed served 288 combat missions in Vietnam, and John was posted to North Africa. David stayed stateside, but he was separated from his young bride shortly after they were married. I’m proud to come from a military family and to honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of our soldiers and their families.

My mother always watched for the mailman. When a letter came from one of the boys, the day was extra sunny. She would read and re-read the note, then call my Aunt Max or my grandmother to read it out loud. On letter days, she always met my father at the door with the note in hand. “We got a letter today!” He never had to ask who sent it. Her face said it was from one of my brothers. For now, everyone was safe.

Netroots For The Troops® is holding a blogathon this week, Feb. 20-24, to raise funds to send Care Packages to soldiers overseas and, this year for the first time, we are also sending Care Packages domestically to VA hospitals.

In tonight’s roundup of blogathon diaries, kossacks share personal and family perspectives of military service, showing why receiving Care Packages is so important to both our soldiers and their families:

• Elizabeth Warren, who will soon be an outstanding new Senator, wrote a moving diary, Honoring our Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families, about her own military family and how she created an advocacy office to protect the military community from scams.
• Richard Cranium describes his personal submarine service in Netroots for the Troops: The Family Gram, telling us about the advances in technology over the years in communicating with family back home, moving from telegrams to videos.
• TheFatLadySings shared her own amusing and interesting perspective as a former Navy officer’s wife in Netroots for the Troops: The Wrong Stuff.
• angelajean wrote about her own experiences as a wife of a deployed husband and what is done to help children missing their mom or dad in Netroots for the Troops: Deployment is a Dirty Word.
• Proud Mom and Grandma points out the ongoing concern a mother has even after a son has returned home from war in NFTT: The “Anythings” After 3 Deployments.

Today Netroots For The Troops^® is kicking off a week-long campaign to raise money to send care packages to our troops. I am honored to be part of the effort. What follows is adapted from myearlier diary for the Military Community Members of Daily Kos back on March 22, 2011.

I have never been in the military. I did not grow up in a military family, although my dad did serve a tour in WWII and my brother one in ‘Nam. My closest connection to military life was my uncle, who was a career Army officer. On occasion, when his family was in transit, my two cousins would live with us for awhile. So what the heck am I doing writing a diary for Netroots For The Troops^®?
