Daily I receive emails and requests regarding recommendations for care package content to deliver to soldiers. Many just simply understand what greater evidence to send. The best advice I can offer is to ask these questions : the soldier what his/her requires are and follow their guidelines in what to send. However, the majority is sending packages without an absolute need in mind, and prefer to donate items to your current warriors. Below you find some commonly requested freight for care packages around Operation Iraqi Freedom. Most it is all totally general and will apply to any area of implementation. For specific area really needs please consult Unit Call.
