No flag?

I am not usually one to point fingers, but I am certaknly not above gesturing in someone's general direction! :)

I was headed home from my morning bike ride today when I discovered that an establishment near the local gas station did not have a flag flying on its pole. The poor thing did not have a stitch of fabric on it!

I know it may not necessarily be any of my business, but I have made it my personal mission to make sure that this establishment get a flag for its pole. Because I have discovered I really hate naked flagpoles.

In fact, I have decided to wage a small war against naked flagpoles: the USO will send you a free flag with a donation of $30 or more, and I, paycheck permitting, want to donate in the name of, and send a flag to any company, group, or organization who needs a new or replacement flag.

If you know of an establishment like this, send me the name and address of the company, and a photo of the state of the flag, or the naked flagpole and I will do my best to get a flag to anyone that needs it at some point.

You can send this information to me via email at:
soldiergirlblog@gmail.com
or you can donate and order your own flag here.
 
I look forward to your submissions!

Okay, so... The packing list

Stuff... and things

Just kidding:
There are important things like soap and underwear, and toothpaste. However, that's the no-brainer stuff.

The important things are:
Baby wipes - because you don't always have time for a full shower between PT and your regular day.
Feminine hygiene products - duh
2 soap cases - one for actual use, the other for inspections
Deodorant that I know I can use - because I have a tendency to have allergic reactions to some deodorants
Sunscreen - because I'm freaking pale
Elastics and pins for my hair - you really can't have too many
Bandages - to cover blisters
Hair gel - so there are no flyways and nonsense.
I also bought some things called Qwikbuns. They're little contraptions that you use to wrap up your hair and make perfect buns, I'll let you know about them when they come in the mail.
