I was reading another thread here and I noticed that transparant has an orginazaion in her siggy give2thetrooops.org i checked it out and it looks really cool. You can pm her or just go to the web site. I have a nephew in Afganistan and we send him and his unit stuff all the time. Especially food, they appreciate it so much. I started our Sunday school kids collecting stuff to send over and we will be writing letters to them this month. If you want to send Christmas stuff you should do so soon. My SIL sent my nephew a Christmas tree a couple weeks ago. It really helps their morale! Thanks for thinking of them!

anysoldier is another good place.

I've heard to send out Xmas pkgs by Thanksgiving. This is their busiest time of yr for pkgs. Also, go to the USPS and get a flat rate box. They're free, they cost $8.10 to ship no matter the weight. Stuff as much as you can in there. There are two diff. kinds, and one is much easier to fill - it opens on the top, not the end. You'll have to fill out a customs form also, I've never been extremely specific - like I don't list DVDs or anything of value.

You can pretty much send anything. Just no pork. We send my brother wet wipes, drink mixes - like powdered gatorade, power bars (the snickers/candy bar ones taste the best), small toys - frisbee, games, DVDs, Sodoku book, Mad Magazine, sunflower/pumpkin seeds, popcorn balls, any and all snacks. For his Xmas box, I got some snowflake window clings for his wall locker.

Have fun with it!
And Thank you for doing this for someone.

A young single gal from my unit has deployed to the Middle East for 3 months.. If you have any extra stamps could you send her a note, card or have your kids draw a picture for her. This is her first deployment and I know she could use the warm wishes.
Her mailing address is.
