I Rock in IraqUm, as some of you may or may not know, my brother is in the army and stationed in Iraq. He's a tanker and has been in all the worst areas, Baghdad, Fallujah, and tons of other places he isn't allowed to tell me about. While I do not support the war in any way, I want my brother to make it back safe.
I'm sending him a huge care package tomorrow late afternoon. It includes a ton of food, a few presents, and some music that he has probably never heard before in his life. I'm sending 5 minidiscs. 4 are filled with songs and the 5th one I plan to fill with good wishes from people I know as well as strangers. If you have a few moments tonight and want to contribute to this little project, please record a short message in mp3 or .wav or .aiff or whatever on your computer with your microphone and either post it someplace and let me know where or email it to my gmail account aliciafrantz AT gmail.com
I need to send the package tomorrow late afternoon noon to get it there before Christmas. I know this is short notice and if you don't have time I totally understand. This is really last minute but I know how happy it would make my brother, his name is Dale. Here is a picture of him in a tank:
Wishing you all the best.

This is an excellent idea, Alicia. Hope your brother is staying safe. I'll try to put something together if I can.

Oh man, I really wish him all the very best and and a rapid and safe return. My brother is over there, too. It's painful and, like you, I support the war in NO WAY. While I haven't the means to record a message, you are both going to be in my thoughts.
