For all of those who would like to send our troops deployed to Iraq a Care Package this holiday season but don't have a clue what to send, here are some suggestions directly from a trooper stationed there.

If you have an interest in sending a care package to soldiers in Iraq, Russ advises you contact anysoldier.com. If you’d like to send to Russ’s unit (the soldier above) please contact us here at Armchair General for his address. Additionally, here is a list of things Russ said are in high demand from fellow soldiers;
Small boxes or packs of Kleenex
Throat lozenges
Stuff for colds
Nuts (yeah like we have enough running around here with weapons, so just the edible kind please)
Beef jerky
Hard candy
Gum
Tooth paste, any size or type, travel size works ok
Floss
Soap
COFFEE (its cooling down and we will consume a lot of it)
Puzzle books
DVD Movies (you can send used ones we will leave them for the next crew or the post library)
Thanks for your support!
