Any supportive efforts sent their way will doubtlessly be greatly appreciated. It will go to a deserving US soldier sacrificing yet another year s holidays for his or her country. This was done during the 1991 Persian Gulf War by thoughtful US citizens to ensure that the particular needs of our female soldiers, sailors, and marines were being met. Edible spreads and dips, like heez-wiz, Salsa, etc. Shaving and hygiene items, especially travel size for rucksacks.
Shampoo can be an especially desireable commodity.
Small plastic containers and Zip-lock baggies are also nice to have. Toothbrushes, shaving brushes, and other brushes for cleaning and maintaining weapons and precision equipment. Playing cards or other card games or small pocket games. Hacky-sacks were often greatly appreciated by those that had them in 91. Newspapers and news clippings, especially regional and local news for area soldiers, and comics, sports pages, etc. for entertainment relief.
