RE: Troop care packages

[ShirleyT]

 
In the past it was possible to send care packages to soldiers by simply putting " to any soldier"  but now that has changed. You must be a family member or friend of a soldier and they must recognize your name and location before they are able to receive a package.
 
 If you would like to send something to the troops simply just contact friends or other family members that have a soldier overseas and send packages through them.
 
 My aunt and I are continually working on sending packages to my cousin and pack enough for him to share. We have gotten an overwhelming response from our friends and communities who want to do something but didn t think they could because of the new regulations.
 
 The soldiers appreciate everything they get from the states! If any of you are thinking of doing this I am posting a link of suggested items.

 Remember no pork products can be sent.

Our church did a collection for service men through the Red Cross.  You might could contact them.
