That's great 2Jedismom!

A couple more tips for ya...
Servicemembers have been instructed not to open mail from unknown senders. I fear that any packages sent to "any soldier" may be discarded.

Ideally you would want to send it to a specific soldier who knows it is coming.
You can do this by sending post cards to "any service member" first and offering care packages and requesting instructions on how best to send them. It's also important to have a specific address because the mail handlers, however unfortunate, will hoard the goods for themselves. I speak from experience.
You can also get specific names and addresses thru family, friends and perhaps any local military bases.

Good point. And you might check with the chaplain's offices at bases to find out who would like a little extra support - I'm talking to one Airforce Chaplain (an old friend of mine) who has told me he'd be very happy to help folks in his squadron get signed up!

Thanks for the tips, Zed...and 68-69, I freepmailed Hillary's Lovely Legs and asked her exactly what the guild was doing, I'm a little unclear. This guild thing seems like the route to go, though.
