Another call to help some soldiers…

Aug 22 By Marjorie

From my friend, Kelley:

“Just learned of a Lima Co. Marine that truly needs packages and encouragement.  They will not be in Afghanistan for a couple more weeks, but ok to start mailing by September 9th.”

Things to send (thanks to KS, who listed this last time in the comments):

Baby wipes, personal hygiene items such as 3-blade razors (Mach 3 are most requested), toothpaste, toothbrushes, liquid body wash (not soap bars), single pack drink mixes to add to water (electrolyte types are the best for hydration in the intense heat), stationary and cards they can use to write home, coffee (ground) with filters, and condiments; commercially produced JERKY (extremely popular); Magazines (sports, Maxim, news, cars, NASCAR); air fresheners (the kind you can attach to a wall or set on a table are best, or potpourri – just be sure to send a container).
