Sweetie, no one was seriously suggesting that we send pornography. It's also strictly forbidden by military regulations and would be confiscated before it ever made it to a solider's hands, so no worries there. I debated long and hard (harhar) about sending things like Maxim and FHM and Cosmo and magazines that would be similar and I decided against it because I don't think that is something most people would be interested in. I'm looking for magazines that inspire and/or make them think and to keep them in touch with what's going on stateside. Life, Time, Sports Illustrated, gaming magazines, car magazines...those kinds of things.

This is awesome! But I have one REAL concern! A fam member of mine is in the military and will be touring in Iraq very soon again and to be honest, he's not going to be happy if he happened to be given a dirty magazine or even one that has vulgar images in it. Not that he wouldn't be grateful for anything and he truly would, but it made me think of a question.... is there any way to request a certain type of thing NOT be sent to a specific area? Just wondering as he'd really be happy not to have to worry about recieving anything out of the ordinary. I'm not sure what kind of mags we're talking here, but I've already seen people requesting to send pornos and toys?? Would some of the men who choose not to have those types of things sent be able to kindly turn it down and not have to worry about something like a dirty mag being wasted on someone who doesn't want to see it?
All I'm saying is just because most people are all excited to send strange men dirty mags, some wouldn't find them useful and wouldn't exactly appreciate it. I mean some people are not into that and I understand that fully. I personally don't find it appropriate to send anything like the dirty mags out unless it's to someoen who's already said yes to it. Some men do not want that type of thing. In fact, the member of my family who's in the military said he would find it offensive to have even the swim suit mags sent to him... If there's away to stop it being sent to specific people he would greatly appreciate it
Sounds strange, but it was something he said he would not want to have to deal with recieving.
Anyways, the points sound awesome though! Are all the points we donate going to be converted to cash and the full amount we donate go to them? Just wondering about that. I wish there was a way we could earn even more or do some sort of thing to be able to send more less

All points will be spent toward magazines with the intent to break even, no one at Eden is going to profit from this.
I love your enthusiasm and I appreciate your support!
