Oh my … do I have a story to share with you and your bloggers!\u00a0 Six ladies from Singapore, 2 Air Force and 4 Navy wives, loaded up at 5:15 am Friday, November 14 for a MAC flight to Yokota AFB, Japan. We arrived successfully and hit the ground running!\u00a0 Our goals were to Christmas shop, BX shop and Commissary shop. (Not only is food a challenge in cost but also selection of traditional holiday foods can not be found in\u00a0 Singapore)\u00a0 Clothes (Singaporeans are short and stick skinny), makeup (no need to explain) hair color (still no need), shoes (largest size for men is size 9)… do I need to go on?!\u00a0 I shared the Coupons for Troops on the flight where we sorted and organized.\u00a0 To make a long story short… 6 ladies total coupon savings $202!\u00a0 All we used were the coupons sent to us by your generous, thoughtful Coupon for Troops participates.\u00a0 The Commissary at Yokota boxed up our items and will MPS them to us free.\u00a0 We boxed up the BX and BX Extra shopping ourselves and the post office will MPS them free. The MAC flights were free and lodging was $19 a night.\u00a0 We boarded the 4 am flight on Monday, November 17 for Singapore weary, successful, proud and grateful!\u00a0 Grateful for the support of you and your bloggers.\u00a0 Seems like a little thing, to clip a coupon, but it sure adds up over time and blessed us all.
\nThank you again so very much!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It is hard to believe something as simple as passing on your unused coupons could make such a big impact in these families lives, but it does! If you want more information on how you can participate in this program send an email to, coupons4troops@comcast.net.<\/p>\n
