APO Address Giveaway to Brighten a Soldier's Holiday

During the Holiday Season, we are going to give a gift to some deserving person in the Armed Forces.  The winner will need to have an APO Address to be eligible.  It is a way for us to say thank you for serving our country and wish them a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa or whatever holiday they celebrate.

In the package, the winner will receive:

  • Dad's Roadhouse Pepper Patch Salsa
  • Dad's Roadhouse Pickled Carrots
  • Dad's Roadhouse Apple Butter 
  • Dad's Roadhouse Jamaican Jerk Hot Sauce


The rules are simple, to enter you must:

  •  have an APO Address 
  • or nominate someone who has an APO Address
Enter the name as rank along with the last name as a comment below.   Make sure to leave your email address as a way to contact the winning entry for the complete address.  A random winner will be drawn at 6:00 pm CST on Sunday, December 19 so that the package may be shipped on Monday, December 20th.  Failure to respond to an email request for final information within 2 hours could cause me to move to an alternate winner to assure arrival near the holiday.

Note:  I have edited some of the entries to remove personal information.  I did not eliminate the entries and have retained copies of those entries, but do not want to endanger them in any way by having their personal info on a public forum.  Please leave only rank, last name and a contact email should your entry be selected.  A few have also put some spirited messages of support for their nominees.  That is awesome to see, but not required.

  7. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT POST NAME RANK AND APO INFORMATION IN A PUBLIC FORUM LIKE THIS!

    All he's asked for is rank and last name and an email address to get the full address for whoever is the winner...

    If you're an Angel, you should know you're not supposed to share your adoptee's information like this.

  10. Please do not post all personal information for these entries. The post states a Rank, Last Name and an email address to get in touch with you for the address are all that are required.

    We are all proud of them, but let's keep them safe too.

    We are trying to confirm the APO address of an individual now. Per the guidelines in the original post, failure to get a response could cause us to draw another name.

    Thanks for your patience.
