Today I mailed four boxes to A Co. and C Co. Stryker in Baghdad. Contents below:

A Co:
Box 1 (ready post box)
1 2lb can nuts
1 bag Halloween Oreos
1 Box Little Debbie Fall marshmallow treats
1 Box Peeps Pumpkins
1 box Peeps Ghosts
2 boxes Wyler's drink-to-go
1 box Lipton's tea-to-go
1 bag Halloween KitKats (~21)
1 bag HubbaBubba scary shapes Halloween gum (~33)
1 bag mixed Skittles and Starbursts (~90)
1 bag Halloween M&M's (14 oz)
1 Halloween cat stuffed animal

Box 2 (flat rate box)
Runners World magazine
Car&Driver magazine
1 box instant apple cider
1 box sugar free apple cider
1 box Little Debbie Fall marshmallow treats
1 bag candy corn (~75)
3 boxes Lipton tea-to-go

C Co:
Box 3 (same as Box 1 above)
Box 4 (same as Box 2 above except the magazines were Smart Money and Consumer Reports)

I also put a Halloween poem with thanks for serving in each box.

Is there anywhere that needs an extra box? I have a few goodies left over I could send -- maybe a flat rate box. If not, I'll save them for Thanksgiving/Christmas.

One more thing -- when I was talking with the postal clerk about the boxes, a young lady came up and said her husband was in Afghanistan, is home now on leave, and that the troops really appreciated packages from home. She thanked me, but I said her husband deserved the thanks and to tell him we all appreciated his service.

Can we get you to embarrass yourself by posting the Halloween poem you wrote to A and C companies of Stryker at Baghdad?

Please.
