    Default Holiday care packages for soldiers

    Gentlemen,

    A friend is putting together care packages for some forward deployed soldiers this holiday season. If you'd be willing to contribute items, please mail them to the address below. Beef Jerky, hygiene gear, snack food, etc are all good ideas. Please DO NOT send money. Shipping is already covered.

    SHIP TO:

    A. COFFIN
    PO box 49701
    Colorado Springs CO 80949


    These are going out the first week of December so if you want to get some stuff included it needs to get there in the nest two weeks. Any help is appreciated.

    Goodies headed out.

    You and your friend are good people. Getting stuff from home meant a lot. Even more so around Christmas.

    When you say hygiene items, anything specific?

    Most of the PXs over here have gone to an "expeditionary" status. Even the USFOR-A Head Quarters has cut way down on what's available. Things like toothpaste, tooth brushes, and deodorant run out a lot.

    Some of us prefer to help without being in the spotlight.

    Can I send a bottle of crown? If not what would be a good morale boosting item?

    I assume they have game consoles over there. Perhaps a copy of Madden, GTA, Ghosts?

    Booze?! They would love that, but not worth the risk of getting someone in trouble.
