Calling on cf members who have served in the Armed Forces.....

[ChuckD]

Holla to all our brave cf members who have served in the arm forces.

I have a question for you.

My mom has a relative overseas, in Iraq. She wants to make a care package to send him, for his enjoyment.

However, she has no idea what to get, and send.

I decided to help her by going to the source, so I am asking you all.

What types of things would you want to receive from back home? Books, magazines, food (non perishible of course), music.

Can you give me (and mom) some ideas?????

Too Easy.

Do send hypo-allergenic Wipes. (Babywipes)

Cue tips
Magazines, Crossword Puzzles, Ramman Noodles, Music CD's. (Burned) DO NOT SEND Originals, Kool Aid Powder Mix, Gator aid Powder mix, Cookies (any type.), Gummy Bears, Double AA Batteries.


What not to send:

Magazines showing any type of Skin. I.e. FHM, Maxim, Playboy, Anytype of Chocolate. (It will melt.), Food (Perishable type). Tooth brush, soap, Tooth paste. (Dont bother, they get enough through company wide care packages.)

DO NOT SEND STAMPS.

So dont waste your money sending stamps.
