Things Soldiers Need
Here is a list of things that deployed solders can use. I based this list on things that people sent us that we found useful. I omitted the things that we either did not use or could get plenty of locally. This list is not all inclusive and a soldier's needs vary from location to location. I recommend that if you know the family of a soldier -- ask them what to send. Or, better yet, write a soldier a letter and say thank you.

For the record -- we were always happy to get something -- It showed someone cared
