I almost forgot...

It seems to me that the foremost civilian address in Oregon (and, to one extent or another, Washington) for supporting our troops is the Coalition of Troop Support. They are very well organized and very active, and I encourage you to consider getting involved with them. We're having a special care package packing party at a local VFW on Sunday the 25th of March. You should be able to find details on their web page. Check 'em out.
