Care packages
April 2, 2003 - 6:36 pm
I just went out and spent around $200 at Wally World for stuff to go in care packages for soldiers. I’ve been asking people for names to send stuff to, since the DoD has forbidden packages addressed to “Any Soldier”. I got the name of someone in a command position in Afghanistan so hopefully he’ll be able to distribute stuff around to some people who don’t get much from home.
I got:
candy, playing cards, lip balm, baby wipes, deoderant, sunblock, saline nasal spray, peanuts, disposable cameras, gum, mouthwash strips, Kleenex, Purell, Sharpies, toothpaste, and Krazy glue.
From what I understand, it’s been taking a month or more to get stuff to the middle east. Hopefully nothing will melt or crumble away before it arrives!

That is a wonderful idea, by the way.
