Title: Help out the troops
Post by: sleeperred90tgp on May 02, 2007, 08:25:43 PM
My wife's sorority is putting together another care package to the troops in Iraq. They put this together about every three months.

We usually have most of the basic needs covered but things that are hard to come up with are DVD movies. They like old or new releases. Or anything, heck cartoons will do. These are sought after and are too expensive to purchase. Each member buys toiletries clothes; batteries caned food, easy meals, raids their pantries, magazines car boat or anything mechanical. Any thing but toothbrushes. There seems to be an abundance of these.

So if you have any DVD movies or magazines that you never look at, are thinking of getting rid of, or there just taking up space please send them. The troops would appreciate them.

Doesn?t mater if it?s one or two or whatever.

Anybody that has something to send please respond to this post, pm or email me and I will email you my address. Hope I have to do a lot of packing. :icon_biggrin:

Thanks

Jud

Speaking on behalf of troopers in Iraq..........  I've been here for a few months now wow, what a change from last time.  Its like driving on the moon with all the craters in the roads from IED's

Body wash (soap & shampoo) in one is popular.

Vitamins

Sports drink mixes

pens

Flavored powders for coffee. (carnation non-dairy creamer gets old after a while) Irish cream

lens cleaners for sunglasses

Chapstick

Croakies (lanyards to hold sunglasses around your neck)

Travel coffee cups (plastic ones with the Handel)

Nice soft toilet paper.

The continued support of the American public, and support for the families of those soldiers deployed.

Thomas, If you don't mind I'll copy and past this to the other boards that I posted on as well as the free cycle around my area. Glad you chimed in I was kinda waiting for more input from you.

Hope all is well. Get back safe.
