Hello Marine Corps Families!
 This has been a
busy week! Our staff and volunteers are working hard
getting the arrangements done for our Marine
Parents conference in Houston the weekend of April
21-23. We have over 100 new subscribers to the
newsletter and over 150 new subscribers to the
Marine and Recruit message board communities. I'd
like to welcome all the new families; we're glad
you've found a Place to Connect & Share™!
In this newsletter, you'll learn more about "a
Place to Connect & Share™", see our progress
in fund raising for shipping 350 cases of Girl Scout
Cookies® to our deployed Marines, learn how to
communicate with other families with deployed
Marines, and get a sneak-peak for the documentary
from 1/5 Iraq 2003 "Make Peace or Die" which will
debut at the Annual Conference in Houston, April 21-
