Paul Wood Thanks Hooters.

Dear Hooters of LBV

    Thank you for the items that were sent to us over here. Myself and the Marines in my squadron were really surprised to receive a package with magazines, hot sauce and newspapers. Not only that but I would like to thank
you for the help and your employees gave to my mother. I would tell her of what we had to eat over here and she would try to send sauces and barbeque sauce but this is the best yet.

    It means a lot to us here and now I get to brag of the quality of people back home. No one else has in this unit has received anything amounting to this. I even had my Commanding Officer wondering were it came from. You
really put a smile on our faces and made a serious impact on the morale of this Squadron.

     My name is Cpl. Wood and I am one of the 18 Ch-46 helicopter Crew Chiefs in this Squadron. Our duties in the aircraft require us to be mechanics and when we fly we are responsible for defending the A/C as well as running the
show in the back. We also carry Corpsman in the back who works on the patience as we fly to and from the various LZ’s.

    We have been extremely busy in our duties and responsibilities here in Iraq. Our main mission is Casevac and Medivac. The difference between the two is a Casevac is the evacuation of a wounded servicemen or civilian form the point of injury as we call it. Often times that is the most dangerous for us and thus far we have been successful in saving countless lives both American and Iraqi. We have also directly supported Special Forces and Operations in our area of responsibility. So as you might be able to tell we have little to look forward to in this quick paced environment. So when we get to have Hooters hot sauce and magazines with our chow it really means a lot to us.

    Put simply we are easy to please and I am eager to come home and visit your restaurant, and when I do I will bring a few Marines along. Also we have planned out here already to provide you with a few pictures and other items from our Squadron to show our appreciation, and if you see fit would like you to post them in your restaurant. Thanks again for your generosity.

Original Story below

Hooter Girls Greet Paul Wood



Some Mom's will do anything for their sons
and Foxy Lady Jane Wood is no exception.

After receiving a letter from son, LCpl Paul Wood asking if she could send some barbecue sauce to liven up Marine food a bit, Jane jumped into action. She went to the local Sonny Bryant's and asked if they would help. The store donated a case of sauce which Paul and his buddies loved. After her success she wondered if she could come up with something else that might please the guys.

Then it happened. Jane was invited to sample some of the 'World Famous Hooters Chicken Wings," when the idea struck her, "Why not ask Hooters to donate some sauce?" Well, not only was Hooters willing to help our guys out but the Hooter Girls jumped in to give Paul a special treat...a signed tee shirt.
"I've never been in a Hooters before," she commented, "But they were great!"

Jane Wood (center-pink shirt) shows the girls at Hooters Paul's Photo.

The girls sign a Tee Shirt for Paul..here are some of the things they said:
"Hoot Hoot you're so very cute."

In a heart shape.
"Paul and Steph. xoxo
Wish you were here with me."

"Woody, come home soon so you can see me.
Lots of love Brittney"

"Paul " love the picture" we're so very proud of you!"

"Woody you are my sunshine."


Looks like Paul is all set for his return!





Girl Scouts Send Cookies To the Foxes!

Girl Scouts Send Cookies to Foxes! This email was sent to Ray Wood (Cpl. Paul Wood's Dad)
3/8/2005 10:18 AM

   "We shipped out two huge boxes today. It was really a community effort. There are two boxes each with 6 cases of cookies in each box. The Rotary Club of Winter Springs bought 39 boxes and people shopping at Lowe's in Oviedo were happy to buy cookies to send to Paul and his unit. The UPS Store in Oviedo packed the boxes for us and Paul Blastic, with LJ Ruffin and Assoc. paid for the shipping.

   The girls did a super job with their cookie sales. When they sold
cookies at the cookie booth at Lowe's, they really were excited about
encouraging people to send cookies to the US Soldiers overseas and in Iraq. Some of the boxes of cookies have notes on them from people who wanted to send their support. The Brownies also sent some notes.

   According to the USPostal service the boxes should arrive within a
couple of weeks (2-3). Like I said, a real communtiy effort. I think the girls would like to send some more notes. Please keep us updated and anything else we can do to show them how much the people in the states all of the military in Iraq.
"
Nancy Swalby

   They must have been a hit as Paul wrote Dad "We recieved two large boxes today from the girl scouts. There has to be at least 400$ worth of cookies here....."

   Altogether there were 20 girls in the two troops who sold girl scout cookies to their friends, neighbors and at the Lowe's store in Oviedo.

Thank You Girl Scout Foxy Ladies...we are all very proud of your efforts!
