Don't Leave Them Alone

Our first care packages we sent and I took them shopping with me to pick stuff out. They loved picking things to send and figuring out what wouldn't melt etc. They are aware of the soldiers over there (they are too young too understand too much) and that it's nice to send them letters and things as they don't really have anyone sending them communication.

That's great to hear! Back in the early 90's I was a pen pal with a soldier in Kuwait. We exchanged letters for a better part of a year. He sent pictures and I gained quite a bit of know edge of the area, people and what was going on there from his POV. When he came back to the states we met at Ft Eustis for a lunch that lasted 7 hours! We still keep in touch. Never give up your communication with your soldier.

We send packages and cards each month. Get people at work involved as well. They may have email, but they don't have the comforts of home and we must all let them know we appreciate what they are doing.
