Here's a couple of emails received in April from soldiers overseas with some specific requests for items.

Hi!!! It was good to get an email from you. :) I would have replied sooner, but I was at another PB (patrol Base) with my Chaplain. We are able to get stuff out to the soldiers that are outside the wire at patrol bases and stuff like that. For them, they enjoy magazines, snacks, candy (some of them do not have a DFAC (cafeteria) so they fix their own food, so they enjoy getting something that can be fixed in a microwave or little oven.
For the people on the FOB, I have received numerous requests for underwear, bras, white socks, green uniform socks, tan uniform shirts, and twin size sheets for the beds. Snacks are also asked for. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me back. Thanks again for everything.

Nancy,
Hi. Thanks so much for all of your support. We enjoy and use everything you send us. In particular the guys like getting shower gels and shaving products. A lot of people send female geared products and the guys like to know someone is looking out for them too :) I know everyone loves the Girl Scout cookies and everyone has their favorite. Thanks
