If you want suggestions of what to send to Iraq?
envelops of hot cocoa mix
lithium batteries
Crystal Lite On the Go (small boxes of small drink mix envelops -- one envelop flavors 1 standard issue bottle of water)
bags microwave popcorn
trail mix
beef jerky
hometown newspaper
dried fruit
nuts
DVD movies--Westerns, action, recent releases
shaving gel packed in ziplock bag
disposable razors
solid airwick or car deodorant strip
toe warmers (activated charcoal patches for socks are carried at Walmart)
50% wool socks
medicated bandaid strips
coffee
tea bags
pouches of white tuna fish and plastic jar Miracle Whip
If you live midwest or West Coast, get a flat rate priority box 5x8x11 at the post office, which costs $7.70 to mail regardless of weight.
Gotta finish packing
Hope these suggestions help.
Cheers!
Patty
