Adopt-a-Company
The local newspaper has adopted my husband's company and they have been sending the local paper and making care packages for each platoon. A couple of weeks ago, Ft. Riley still had a few line companies that still had not been "adopted." You may want to contact the nearest military installation and see if they are sponsoring such a program.
I've been sending sunblock, chapstick, hard candy, peanut butter crackers, girl scout cookies, sunflower seeds (helps retain water), beef jerky, and the sports pages. Sorry, Mike, but there is a good chance that the porn is not getting to your friends. They (Kuwaiti custom officials??) search many of the packages and all porn, pork, and other "illegal" items are disgarded. . .heck, we were advised that they couldn't even receive the Sports Illustrated Swim Suit addition. Geez. I've also been advised to put a list of items within a letter in the box, because many people have received empty boxes with nothing but a letter in them.
My husband is attached to the 3rd Infantry Division (2nd Battalion 70th Armor) and my brother is somewhere in northern Iraq. Baghdad are bust!!
