I sent a whole bunch of packages (over 20) last year at Christmas- and have heard from three or four of the folks I mailed to. I even inquired with some or the Freeps who knew a few of the troops I mailed to -and still heard no word on if the package got there or not. I sent a huge box of toys and school supplies for Iraqi children and never heard if it got anywhere.

One box cost me well over 200.00. Whenever I get worried that the boxes didn't make it to the troops- I just think- they must have ended up somewhere with someone who needed it! I hope it was with a soldier or one of their family members.

That was pretty much the way I felt---but since I did make it return receipt requested and that never got back and it was insured, I put in a claim with the post office.

It would be nice if one of the reporters over there did a story about the "lost packages!"
