I wont be able to do this for awhile, I wont be back in town for a few days, but as soon as I do, Im going to pass this around at Ft. Campbell and see if I cant get a few hundred sent to him from some of my airborne brethren.
Dunno if he likes military stuff or not, but Ill do my best.

Continued thanks to all of you who have taken a moment from your busy holiday schedule to cheer the little kid up. I've never met him, but he has apparently really moved the small town where we both live with his positive attitude. I hope everyone has a safe and merry Christmas, wherever you are.

me and the girlfriend will be sending him a card and a note this week...i dunno if he wants a picture of an eagle RJ...but he can have one!
i hope and pray everynight that my girlfriend and i will have healthy children...
it breaks my heart to see that this boy may not get a chance to ride or fly an airplane...go fishing...ride his bike through the woods or those other things we always take for granted...
i know the next time i'm on a long day and want to complain i'll think twice b/c i know that at least i'm healthy and will get to see my lovely lady again....
it's sad that the most innocent kids have to put up with so much...God bless 'em...

Here's an excerpt from our union's (IPA - UPS) newsletter... Thanks Salty...
Pilots Asked to Send Letters to Terminally Ill Child
Pilot groups around the country are being asked to send letters and post cards to a little boy named Kyle Roger who has terminal brain cancer. Kyle loves receiving mail and has requested that people send him holiday cards, letters and post cards to keep him busy and his mind off of his serious illness.
If you have a moment, please consider sending a post card to help brighten his day. All it costs is a minute or two, a postcard, and a stamp.
His address:
Kyle Roger
837 S. Hills Drive
Bellingham, WA 98229
You can read a story about him written in the Bellingham Herald by going to The Bellingham Herald / Top Stories / Bellingham boy battling brain tumor asks for holiday cards.
Thanks for your support.
