The organization&amp;#8217;s mission is to send necessary food and toiletries to soldiers serving in remote locations in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan and improve the quality of life for those defending our freedom and protecting our country. 

Although our military provides the basics of food, shelter, and gear, however, the troops that are stationed in remote locations, especially combat zones, far from stores of any kind, do not have access to necessities they desperately need to be readily available to them. That is where Operation XO comes in to assist these fine men and women. Our organization provides items such as baby wipes (when showers are scarce), deodorant, toothpaste, and especially sun block. We also provide cereal bars, protein bars, tuna or chicken ...</description><link>http://www.wmmr.com/shows/preston-and-steve/troops/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10111669</link><author>prestonandsteve@wmmr.com (Preston and Steve)</author><guid>http://www.wmmr.com/shows/preston-and-steve/troops/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10111669</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 May 2010 13:22:52 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>[PICS] - Photos from listener Sargeant Rick McGettigan in Kyrgyzstan!</title><description>From Preston &amp;amp; Steve Listener Rick McGettigan currently deployed at Kyrgyzstan:

"Hey Preston, Steve, Nick, Casey, Kathy, and Marisa! 
My name is Rick from Upper Darby and I'm listening live online...all the way from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan!!! That's right! Actually, I'm deployed from the U.S. Air Force at Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan (one of the 'Stans over in this dark corner of the world). I actually called the show a couple of weeks ago and managed to catch you guys at the end of the show. I was great being able to still contact you guys all the way from here. Anyways, I work on the flight line with all of the cargo jets and commercial aircraft. I was out at a DoD (Dept of Defense)-contracted commercial B-747 the other day and I got bored and decided to mess around in the snow.
