Well, maybe the quartermasters will have enough ponchos, warm socks and
other gear to pass out when those better-quality flak jackets arrive in December...

Is the USO or similar organizations going to do a "care package drive" like they did at the beginning of the war? I remember they collected at the grocery store etc and had a list of preferred/needed supplies.

I did an advanced google with "care packages" in the first line and "USO" in the
second (specific line)...and got plenty of hits.
Perhaps this URL is the pertinent one:
http://www.usocares.org/USOCares.htm

I vaguely recollect that my brother donated to the programs...I think they were
sending out a care package for each $25 donation.

Good info, it sounds like many of the troops are being told they'll be there until at least March or April.

well, given the way some of the media outlets paint the picture of Iraq in
nothing but dark tones...I want to do what I can to let them know that
they are in #1 in our hearts and minds...

It IS very helpful and is something a lot of us were asking about all over the boards when the war started over there. I recommend it highly. Especially since we all KNOW what they think we're saying about them thanks to the liberal leftist media.
