The soldier's heads were cold just wearing their helmets so a group of women at Camp Pendleton learned how to knit caps and then would send them to the war areas.  My grade school granddaughter and I can knit we would like to get more information so we can participate.

I've found a site that will tell you everything.  It's listed below.  The world needs more people like you.  Thank you.

Okay the link is disabled.  So I have no idea what she sent or what the deal was...\n\nIt's better to send items to troops through a non profit that knows who is in need and who isn't.  This way you are sure to get things people want or need.\n\nMany service people do NOT get things in the mail and are grateful for mail and items.  But it is still better to go through an organization that handles these things in order to be sure your gifts will be used and appreciated.  Solicitation or advertisement isn't appropriate.  \n\nIf you have a friend or family member stationed in one of these areas ASK them what they need or what is allowed.  Sometimes they just don't have the room for what people try to send.  or they aren't able to tote it around country if on manuevers!  Don't be offended.  It is better to ask either their parents/wife/etc...  if you want to make it a surprise.\n\nIf you or anyone reading this wants to pick a non profit that supports the military you can follow this link to a list of places that include phone card donation, commissary and bx gift certificates, christmas presents etc.. to the service people who will appreciate it.\n\nhttp://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art9421.asp

Here is a website that contains addresses of soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan. Not all soldiers have internet access. Many of them are out in the middle of no-where. But they deeply appreciate receiving packages. And with Christmas approaching what better way to support our troops than by sending them a box filled with homemade cookies, candy, and small gifts? Here is the website where you can contact our troops.\n\nhttp://anysoldier.com/WhereToSend/

Must be nice to be 23 and have all the answers. I've been in the military for 22 years and have yet to gleam the wondrous amount of information that you have accumulated in Lancaster PA. Wow your observation and research skills are truly profound. I was talking to my buddy big foot, and his wife the tooth fairy and we all think you are onto something. Golly I need to drop out of the service and get a blog page so I can look all hip and deep, with the ploy of looking like an intellectual, when in fact I'm actually trying to get laid. Yes Steve you are cool.

i'm on the "get the hell out" bandwagon...  i really can't believe when everyone gets all upset when a journalist gets hurt or kidnapped over there.  the soldiers don't have much choice about being in the war zone, however the journalists don't HAVE TO be there...  right in harm's way.

If you are unable to go to a army/navy store to buy camo (or do not want to), wear clothing that will blend in with the area that you are playing in.  Do not wear bright clothing...the first time I played I had on green sweatpants, a dark long sleeve shirt but had on white socks.  People were able to see me laying in the woods due to my white socks.  Also, wear a dark hat that will hide your hair and maybe paint your face to camo it a little.  I also wore a cup, in case someone had too good of aim, you might invest in one.

Cool idea.  We always just do head shots on human targets.  You could try printing this one out: http://www.dar.net/~ferrous/zz/ZSTARGET2.pdf

Do a "Google search".  You should also read some books in the library tagged under Revolutionary War and Women (the Library of Congress)

I'm not sure why, I don't. I was in Iraq and currently in Afghanistan. The women serving th, there and here are fantastic. Very good at their jobs. I've seen some great female MP gunners, Medics and helicopter pilots. They just are in the rear with the gear anymore guys. Bash all you want but they Kick A$$ over here. And some are really cute too and could still probably kick most of the arm chair soldiers butts in here. HAHA

You can try classmates.com. They have a whole section for the military. I have registered there and have found many friends that were stationed with me.

my guy came back alive and for that i am thankful.  he is set to redeploy again.  they planted trees on his base for the fallen soldiers from their platoon and it was sad to see the kids out there not wanting to leave those trees because they wanted to be with their parents.  my guy cried like a baby.  yes it is time to pull out and bring them home, for moral reasons not for political.

it's nice to hear the air force is treating you well ... I was a army wife and it was not" 90210 "like you explained ...{thanks for the dumpy comment }, My husband was a GRUNT in Bosnia and in Afghanistan ... It was sheer hell for me and our 2 boys .. Im thankful for Ft. knox they did all they could do to make it as easy as they could for us during my husbands deployment... No matter what branch all these men and women are HEROS ! I was not aware that there were people who did'nt support our troops ... I just thought it was Bush they did'nt support ! being a "army" wife is very hard!!{ there is no fun and games at war} maybe I should have had my husband Join the airforce so we could not appear to be so dumpy!!! My husband is a hell of a man and Im very proud of what he has done for our country.. HOOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
