I'm getting my paypal account set up again next week for those who want to do this by credit card.
Dear Dr. P****,
Thank you so so much for the care packages for someone like myself who doesn't have a large family or spouse. It was nice to be excited about getting mail. Your packages had something to make everyone on my team smile. What you are doing is really great, and admirable.
I wish I had an APO to send you for some of our guys out at the smaller fire bases, but if you could send a male oriented box with snacks like dried fruit and trail mix, some fun stuff like DVD's or board games, books, and personal hygiene items (shaving cream, razors, deoderant, sunscreen, ect...) I will put them on the next available resupply trip. I'm sure whatever you send will be greatly appreciated.
When you ask about any personal requests, all I could really use is ....[a personal item I've already purchased for her]. Some girls here are afraid to ask for these items. [feminine hygiene products] and other girlie potions you may surprise us with, like lotions, hair products, face products, nail stuff, ect. Sometimes it's nice to just feel like a girl for a little while.
Thank you once again for everything that you are doing, people like you make a huge difference in soldiers lives.
Sincerely,
Cpl. R****

I hope a few people might be able to help out here also: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1160952/posts?page=155#155
Perhaps it would be possible to create a "Supply Depot" wishlist thread?
Best regards,
