It has been confirmed, all 20 boxes arrived safely to Iraq and are being or have been handed out. Here is a brief note from Matt about some of the deliveries:
"Please tell Mom and Dad that me and SGT Pass handed out about 8 boxes of stockings today, most of the rest we're trying to have shipped to the outlying FOBs. One of the guys was reading his note, and the student asked, "how many people have you killed?" It was awesome, all the guys were rolling with laughter. "
Thanks again to all the contributed.
Merry Christmas!

December 8 - Update
As of December 3, 2009 there were 20 boxes, weighing 53# each, on their way to an Army Base in Iraq. All total there were 504 stockings filled with candy, bibles, mouthwash, baby powder, drink mix powder and handwritten notes from many parts of the US.
Karyn and I can't thank all those who helped in the producing of the stockings, note writing, donations (monetary and goods) - enough. Contributions of some kind came from Missouri, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Texas, California and Michigan.
When you get a minute, checkout www.operationworship.com these are the kind folks who provided the 504 Bibles on their way to Iraq. They have some pretty cool testimonies on their web site. Thank you Operation Worship!
Please pray that the boxes make it to the final destination. We are positive that God will use these little tokens as a way to warm the hearts of our Soldiers, who are courageously spending their Christmas time away from US soil and their familes.
I personally have to thank Karyn for listening to what God was telling her - and I openly admit it seemed insurmountable.
But then Phil 4:13 kicks in........................we can do all things as long as God is on it! mws translation.
Merry Christmas and may God Bless each of you in 2010.
