have provided a list of acceptable items to include in
the package from the Mets and our fans:

The 2d Battalion, 2d Marines, a unit of 1200 Marines, are
currently stationed in Iraq, where they have been since
March of 2003 to reinforce Coalition Forces during
Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. This distinguished group has been
recognized for its meritorious service in the defense of our nation.

I sent my sister "care" packages when she was on a ship after 911 (Navy) and she REALLY appreciated it.
