From someone
else, who sent stuff to a soldier whose name turns out to be
Ron:
"He says they've got a lot of toiletries and such, since people
ship 'em a lot, so the unit chaplain distributes them from a
central point. What they could really use are books- that was first
on his list- magazines, CD's, DVD's, cookies, and snack food like
spray cheese and crackers. I'm not kidding, he specifically said
'cheese spray spread'. Not sure if those cans would LAST in
140-degree heat... The crackers and cookies would really have to be
store-bought; the soldiers are under orders not to accept anything
homemade unless it's from someone they know and trust."
Also, he says country music is popular, if you're wanting to send
CDs.
