We sent videos of action movies,and comedies.Paperbacks, magzines for motorcyclists, back road stuff we thought others might like. Lotion has been a biggie too.
You listed many of the things we send.
We sent small mirrors with plastic backs less breakable.Bags of licorice.Instant cappuccino packages they just have to add hot water.
Also we asked some local Sunday school classes of young children to color pictures for the troops and letters if they knew how write. We put an intro letter with them in the packages.
Thanks again so much for the thread.
