Operation Air Conditioner

This seems like a great organization. It goes to show that in most cases, private enterprise is a lot better and more efficient than the government. Please continue to pray for the safe and speedy return home of our troops.

Here is text from the Operation AC website on what they do. Do what you can in support of those who are sacrificing for us overseas:

What we do is send 240V 50hz air conditioners to our troops in Iraq from our supplier in Kuwait. You might think this is a stupid thing to send, but I can assure you when you are wearing 20 pounds of gear and body armor and the temperatures get up to the middle 100s - air conditioners are a lifesaver. A donation of $203.00 buys a 9,000 BTU AC Unit and it is $30 to have it delivered to Iraq. Our supplier is a Sears authorized distributor and we have gotten the support of this company from Sears. We have been at this since June 2003 and we have adapted to the needs of our troops. We send them items they are low on in supply and just are a help to them. Please adopt a soldier or marine serving and help us with our effort.

We send troops anything they email us and ask for. Our soldiers are humble people and they only ask for what they need like the boots we send, the socks and glove kits, morale raising items and mostly matching them up with an American who cares about what they are doing. Our troops are volunteers and they are still serving in the same place - do not forget them. Many of the ones going back now are from OIF 1 and remember me from when we started. I'm still here and I promised I would not quit till the last one comes home. It is my hope that we make their existence in Iraq during their deployment as safe and as easy on them as possible given the job they are there to do.
