packages and letters to soldiers

[southernmama]

Ok y'all have heard me talk about how my son loves Army stuff. I went online to find a way to write a solider for a pen pal. I have come across a wonderful site www.anysoldier.com I have cried when reading what some of the men and woman are asking us to send. Such easy everyday stuff that we take for granted. Most just ask for letters and drawings.
One soldier in the unit signs up, you mail packages or letters to him/her with ATTN:Any soldier, he/she gets it and passes it to someone in his unit who is not getting mail or packages.
I have researched this goup and it is legit. I can't imagine being so far from home and not receiving any mail.
There are units from Iraq, Afghanstain and Bosnia. You can spend all day reading from the soldiers.
Just wanted to pass this on to y'all. James has made two care packages to mail out far. I set aside $20 and was amazed by going to the dollar store how we were able to get 2 medium size boxes filled. We made one for a female(woman products you know) and one for a male. I did most the shopping for the woman...LOL James is a little too young to understand some things.
If nothing else, write to them. All cards,letters and packages are very much appreciated.
