thanks for the bump...
I'm just hoping that my cobbled-together guide (at the top of the thread)
will help others with the mechanics of personally mailing packages.

Please do print out the guide -- pass it along to any interested parties.

Does anyone have a portrait photo of a soldier currently serving, or that has recently served, in Iraq?

I want to do a photo treatment similiar to the one I've done HERE,

and I will do it FREE in exchange for someone who will let me use it as a sample on my website. Just need it emailed to me. Please Freepmail me.

THANKS

Sorry...I don't have one, but I'll bump this for exposure.
That is a pretty nice graphics treatment.

you're welcome
thanks for posting this thread

Bump for publicity...
that general mailing deadline of November 13 is drawing nigh...

[VOA]

any publicity is good publicity...bump!

[VOA]

And now for something completely different...
A daylight hours bump!
Take note! November 13 is a general deadline to send holiday care-packages
to our best and brightest!

[VOA]

Just a weekend bump of this thread...and pointing posters/lurkers to advice at
the top of the thread and the excellent advice in post #11.

AND...
reminding posters/lurkers of the general DEADLINE of NOVEMBER 13th to make sure
carepackages get to OUR Best-And-Brightest overseas in time for the holidays.

[VOA]

Is the USO or similar organizations going to do a "care package drive" like they did at the beginning of the war?

visualops,
I just adding adding information in response to your inquiry...and bumping for any
newcomers...

Perhaps this URL is the pertinent one: http://www.usocares.org/USOCares.htm

Additionally, there is an page for donations to the USO Care Package program at this URL:
http://www.usocares.org/donate.htm

If folks hit the "donate online" link, they'll see they can get a USO care package
sent for each $25 donation.

For folks who don't have personal contact with service personnel (and hence
the necessary Military Address), the USO care package program is a good, efficient
way to do something good.
