            Additional Thoughts:

• Remember that the things you send will have to be carried and possibly put in pockets.  Please send small bottles and packets.
   
• Postage stamps are not needed.  Soldiers that are deployed can send letters back to the states for free.  Letters going to a deployed Soldier only require a first-class stamp.
   
• Please do not send anything liquid (water, juice, Gatorade, etc.).  It is very heavy and will increase the cost of postage.  It can also bust and ruin the rest of the box.  Send dry drink mixes (pre-sweetened) instead.  The Soldiers get water from their unit and can mix it when they get it.
   
• Please DO NOT send canned goods.  Not only are they too heavy, but Soldiers are not always in areas where they can cook the food or sometimes even open the cans.
   
• When sending reading material, be VERY careful of the content.  The culture our Soldiers are in is very different than ours.  We want to leave the local residents with a good impression of our Soldiers and country.  We do not want to offend them in any way.  Things that don't offend us could be offensive to them.  Please do not include religious materials.  The religious beliefs overseas are different from ours and we do not want to offend anyone.  Chaplains provide our Soldiers with the materials they need/want.
   
• Please do not send any articles of "civilian" clothing like t-shirts, etc (exception is black socks).  The Soldiers can only wear their uniforms.
   
• Items that have pork or pork products in them should not be sent.  It is against the Muslim religion to consume pork.  Although our Soldiers can eat the items, we want to respect the local culture, religion, and customs.
   
• Please always include a card or letter with your goodies, with your name and address and email address if you have one so the Soldier can send a note of thanks.
• No chocolate candy please, it melts in the boxes.
   
• Lastly, THANK YOU!!!  The Soldiers and families truly appreciate everything you are doing to show your support and concern.
