    Discount from the Post Office

    Mrs. Layoutshooter and I are putting together our son's Christmas package to be shipped to Afghanistan. The woman at the post office informed us that the least expensive way to ship packages to APO/FPO addresses is to use the priority one price shipping boxes. The U.S. Postal Service gives a $2 rate discount for packages being sent to APO/FPO addresses.

    Example: We are using the box that has a $13.95 rate. You can ship ANYTHING that will fit in that box up to a total weight of 70lbs. The total cost will be $11.95 due to the APO discount.

    Duty Honor Integrity
    Peace Through Superior Firepower
    Security Through Strength

    It is the Soldier, not the Poet
    Who has given us the Freedom of Speech

    It is the Soldier, not the Campus Organizer
    That has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate

    It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag,
    who serves beneath the flag,
    and who's coffin is drapped by the flag,
    who allows the protester to burn the flag.
