Wow. I am so excited that we can do this. My dh is in the military and I know how hard it is for him, and all of them to be away from family and friends. An idea of something to send is candy bars. Someone will always eat it and it will stay fresh for a while. And maybe gum or mints. Stuff that may not be readily available to them. Maybe a picture a child has colored. Or a grooming set. Just some thoughts. Happy Holiday season! Jamie |

You are all welcome. I would suggest if you want to send anything other than cards, you could always put together toiletry bags (they can get this stuff where ever they are, but you can always save them a buck or two if you send them. Make some for men, some for women.) or homebaked goodies (this was always a big hit on my DH's sub). I hope to do some extra cooking for them. Cookies usually ship well, breads and muffins don't because they may take a while to get there. Make sure any goodie you make is in an air tight package or as air tight as you can get it. The other people with service members may be able to lend some other suggestions. I am going off of what we did when the DH was in the Navy. Becky |

Thanks for the post - all those free samples we get sure could go to good use in a goodie bag. I've sent packages before and gotten some neat postcards from overseas. It's so hard to be away from home during the holidays. Let's not forget these women and men who put their life on the line everyday, so that we can keep our freedom

My kids do this every year & it's always fun when they get back some responses. I'm also going to move this over to the General Chit Chat forum so more people will be able to read & respond!
