Check with USO first before buying and sending these well intentioned items to forward deployed troops.

Right now they are moving fast and only limited mail from blood relatives has got a prayer of reaching frontline troops right now.

Best to support troops families left behind, donate blood and organize rallies to flood media with a supportive homefront, which hopefully they will broadcast over to our troops.

Sending these items may make you feel good, but the objective is to help the troops and their families in the most effective and needed manner.

Good advice, anymouse.
