As posted previously here, we adopted a 19 year old female soldier who's currently serving in Iraq through http://www.adoptaplatoon.org/. This month our adopted soldier will be receiving a box of mostly feminine products. We always try to send candy, magazines, books and bug lotion as well.
I heard from her this month and she says she's stationed in Baghdad, Iraq working 12-14 hour days and is very tired.
We are thankful for her service there everyday. Does anyone else have a family member, friend, or neighbour serving overseas? If so, what are some of their favourite things to receive in their care packages? Please comment and include a link if you blog about your care packages or supporting a soldier.
This will be part of "A Time to Give" Thursdays on Saving And Giving.

What a great idea! I've not heard of this site, only sites where you can send to any soldier. It's nice to have a personal touch and be able to communicate with your soldier to know what she needs! Thanks for stopping by and linking up to A Time to Give!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! I hadn't heard about that site either. I'll have to check it out.
