Bill says snacks, candy, "junk foods" always welcome, they are out on patrol for long times so any way to clean up such as the little floss things, handy wipes, mini things of sun screen, books and recent magazines there is "down time" and things to read are welcome...

Thanks! I'll pick up a lot more of that stuff to send -- we're also sending lots of Starbucks coffee. (I'm assuming the Lt. likes it, but he's promising it goes to all the guys!)
Which reminds me -- I was going to ask my local Starbucks mgr. if she's able to donate any to the cause.

I think for any of the supplies you pick up let stores know what you are doing. They may either discount or throw more in....
You do know also not to mail it to Iraq?
Each soldier has the equivelant of a domestic address that will be forwarded to them in field. Whether you know his address in Iraq and mail it straight there...or to the army domestic one...it's on the same d*&^ plane so spare yourself the postage.Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

righty o
Pooks. Just want to say thanks to your son.
You've just reminded me that i need to send some cards to the Aussie/Canuck/NZ troops overseas.
Please let your son know that people on the other side of the world are thinking of him & hoping he comes home to his loving family safely.
Take care

No, not my son. My friend's son. But I'll certainly pass along your message to him and his mom! Thank you!

My brother's ship was stationed in the Persian Gulf, now he's in the western Pacific. A little too close to Korea for my comfort. In the last four years he's been home a total of 6 months.
I think he has it a whole lot easier than the ground troops, he keeps his complaints about conditions to himself. But he does tell us what the military guys think of the way they are being used.
The Christmas cards and phone cards are a great idea.
