!!!!! !!!!!We sent a care package over to Iraq, and another is being packed now. Here's what they asked for:
Ziplock bags, seal-able plastic containers (sand gets in everything), hard candy and pencils (the school kids run to the American patrols and beg for pencils and candy, anything to read, and...Little Debbies!
The pictures we got back were priceless, guys with big grins holding up their Little Debbies!
Make 'em happy, send 'em stuff, they love getting anything from home, and they'll tell you what to send! The morale boost was obvious, and my wife was on cloud nine when she saw the pictures. Next packages almost ready to go out...
A shame we can't send them beer as well.
WOW! Great idea!
We were happy to have the GI issue stuff on the boats, and at times we were happy to have the instant C-rat stuff.
