As the mother of a US Marine who is about to go over "there" for his third time, I want to thank the person who started this thread and all those who are going to use the above websites and support our troops.
If you happen to end up with a "pen pal" who is over there, those freebies you get are great to send. I send my son everything under the sun, including female products, he doles it out those under him who dont recieve mail. Then again I found out the first time they were keeping the panty liners and putting them inside their helmets to catch the sweat dripping into thier eyes.
If you are sending packages here is some free packing boxes
Free USPS Packaging for Family and Friends of Service members
The United States Postal Service is providing military family members and friends with packaging materials to send packages to service members.
Call 1 (800) 610-8734, and select option #1, then #1 again, and ask for the "Military pack."
Eight boxes, tape, packaging materials, and labels will be mailed to those who call. They will also provide an I.D. number to re-order. Please allow four to 10 days to receive the materials.
Take advantage of this great opportunity to show support to your loved ones overseas!
Thank you again
