I think of these things when I make up a package...how far on several levels will this package affect the soldier and those around him.

Exactly. We're operating on faith, at a certain level. We'll never know how much good we accomplished. We can only do what we can with the time that's given to us. (Where have I heard that before).

A bunch of us got pinged to another topic here, which had this URL for something very interesting. I wonder if we should look into it.

tiny American pocket flags

The only thing that gives me pause it the triangular shape the flag is folded into. While that's the proper way to store a flag, I also remember it from receiving the flag from my father's coffin.

Maybe I'm not the one to comment on the pocket flag 300, but my first thought is why? Seems like all the other stuff we've sent, the knives, the lights, etc. had a practical application.

'Course then again, there's nothing really "practical" about war...if you know what I mean.
