#89 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Well I have a father of a Army man right here and he said that it is very hot. Gold bond is most appreciated and jerky. Hard candies Phone cards are tricky. It is easier to send the $ and have them bought over there they will get more mins. He said AT&T rip us off over here and the Irac phone CO gives a much better deal. Money orders can be cashed over there. Floss Picks - and the snacks in the small packages. Chips etc..

kegtapr Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Our office is sending some care packages to the troops overseas. We have some ideas from websites and newspapers but I was wondering if any of the military members on this board had some ideas. Anything that would be hard to get over there or that's really needed, that kind of stuff. Thanks in advance for any ideas. 131773[/snapback] My fiancee and I are sending handmade christmas cards to the troops. She is a third grade teacher so she is having her kids, and is going to approach every teacher in the school to have their kids make a card. I also sent out a company wide email where I work for my co-workers kids to participate. I'm expecting to be able to mail up to 500 cards by next Friday so, hopefully, they'll be received in time for Christmas. If you do this make sure you have a soldier to address them to. My ex manager is currently in Baghdad so I'm sending them to her to distribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
