Day 11 - My new Flip Video Camera
I guess you could say that I’m a “Sears brat “! You see , my dad worked for Sears for 30+ years and I spent lots of time in a Sears Store as a kid! : ) Heck I even worked there myself in the 90’s and have shopped there a lot over the years as an adult.
A couple of months ago, I signed our family up for the Sears’ Heroes at Home program. It is a program created to give back to military families.
Over the course of 3 months , we received gift cards worth a total of $322.00
It was a much appreciated and welcomed gift.
Since this was all extra $$ that we certainly weren’t expecting to receive, we bought stuff for the house, a Wii Spongebob game for the girls and a Flip video camera (which I’ve wanted for a REALLY long time)
I have to say this camera is the coolest handheld camera I’ve used in a long time. It’s so easy to use Beck can use it with ease. It’s completely plug in pay… there is a USB connector built into the camera.(yes video is coming very soon )
So a BIG heartfelt thank you to Sears (and all those that donated to the program) !! You guys do so much for our military and their families!
Keep up the great work.

UPDATE – 12/21/09 @10pm EST
The party was so much fun… and we managed to raise $550 in ONE HOUR for the Wounded Warrior Project!! Much thanks to all those that participated and Whitefence.com for sponsoring as well as donating!!
Yes you read that right … I’m excited for a Monday. You see… This Monday I’ll be co-hosting a Twitter Party with WhiteFence.com , starting at 9pm EST.
If you aren’t familiar with WhiteFence, I highly recommend you check them out. WhiteFence is a free service that helps people who are moving or looking to find the best deals on phone, Internet, television, electricity, natural gas and other home services.
Now this is no normal Twitter Party, there will be no gifts to give away. However there it is opportunity to have some awesome conversation, share our tips/tricks and help our wounded warriors …
you see every tweet that includes the party hashtage (#wfparty) a $1 donation will go to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. (up to $2000)
So how can you help get involved and raise money?
Well @whitefence and I will be talking about how how to make the holidays special when you’re loved one is overseas. All you have to do is join in the conversation on Twitter (make sure to include the hashtag )
Make sure you follow me (@tammymunson) and Whitefence (@whitefence) so you don’t miss this fun event!!!
So spread the word to not only raise money but awareness as well. If you would like to make your own donation to the Wounded Warrior Project , you do do so at the WWP site as well!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at tammy @ armyhousehold6.com
Hope to see you there !

Update on SGT Daddy
Posted by: | CommentsSeveral of the events of the last week revolved around SGT Daddy..
Thursday was not only Thanksgiving – but it was also SGT Daddy’s birthday! I was a little worried that he wasn’t going to receive his present on time… but he got it the day before! WHEW!
It was a special day for another reason.. you see SGT Daddy received a coin from Dr. Joseph Westphal, Under Secretary of the Army – and Major General Scapriotti, Commander of the Combined Joint Task Force 82- Afghanistan.
Here are some pics–
And the winner is …

…. all of our Wounded Warriors and Project VALOUR-IT!!
The Project Valour-IT fundraiser (and friendly bloggers’ competition) has come to a close. It was a fun time and some friendly ribbing among all the teams! (even though Team Army didn’t win this year )
All the teams managed to raise a grand total of $103,246.00

Fort Hood Tragedy
Posted by: | Comments

My thoughts and prayers are with all of our military family at Fort Hood as well as those affected directly by this horrific act. If any of my readers at Hood need ANYTHING, please let me know and I’ll make sure to get you what you need!!!!
I just want to update real quick about what’s happening at Fort Hood.. these are the facts. I’m not going to speculate on ANYTHING (unlike certain members of the MSM)
- LTG Cone said all suspects were SOLDIERS!
- No kids were harmed .. they believe the situation is now under control. (at 3pm MT)
- The initial shooter (an Army major) died and the other 2 are now in custody.
Please remember – let’s not jump to conclusions on the speculations or rumors that we are hearing about. Let CID, MP’s and FBI do their job and research the backgrounds of these guys before we start jumping to conclusions about the who and the why!
Now – as far as Obama’s press conference about Ft Hood. I think it was severely mishandled but what can you expect with someone who doesn’t have much leadership experience.
UPDATE
LTG Cone stated that MAJ Hasan was the ONLY shooter and that he is in fact ALIVE. Also – 13 people (including 1 civilian) have died and 31 wounded.
According to Fox News –
Survivors of the rampage that killed 13 and wounded 30 said the suspect, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — “God is great!” in Arabic — before opening fire, base commander Lt. Gen. Robert Cone said.
