jerky is always a hit, presweetened drink mixes like Tang, cocoa mix is good, right now those hand warmers, hard candy, just about anything will make them happy. sw's man says the jerky is the first to go. He asked for some more white socks and those hand warmers at Christmas cause it was colder over there than it was here. He got a bunch of that silly string, they have not used it to find trip wires or anything but it was something to play with for a little distraction. Any hand lotion, Wipes, it will get used. This is a good project for those kids, everybody sends stuff at Christmas, sending them stuff this time of the year is good as everyone else seems to forget. I sent a bunch of expensive cigars ($8 each) to his platoon for Christmas, but they are saving them for when they get back on the beach in Hawaii to celebrate leaving the giant cat box. We use those Flat rate boxes from USPS, the box is free and it costs $8.10 no matter how much it weighs and you can stuff alot of things in them. I just packed one last night, has magazines, licorice, Dots, peppermint sticks, peanuts, chicken soup mix (dry), cocoa mix, gum and a box of Doritos. Still got room to through in some chap stick and stuff like that. Tell those kids that I said Thank You to them :!:
