Sending Packages to Our Troops

I'm excited to share this post with all of you because it's dedicated to all of our troops serving here and abroad.  I think just about every one of us know of someone - friend or family - that is serving in our military.  A long time friend of mine has a brother who's currently serving in the mountains near the Afghanistan and Pakistan border.  This post is especially for him.

If you've never put together a care package {like me} you'll want some ideas about what to pack.  You can find information here and here and shipping advice here.  I learned this weekend that a lot depends on where they're stationed...ie the weather, their living quarters..etc.

So I put together some things that either came recommended or just because I thought he'd like them {enter Maxim magazine here}.

white t-shirts

wipes

gum

cheesy mac {just add water}

granola bars

candy

magazines - the Maxim Salute to the Military was a no brainer

Here's where he's stationed in case you'd like to send a little something his way too:

E. Roney

172 BCT (USAF JTAC)

FOB Sharana

APO, AE 09311

Thank you to all military men and women!!!
