some things he might enjoy, like a calling card, a pair of panties you have worn just put them in a zip lock bag you save the smell (guys really like it). and if you are sneaky and he drinks send him some booze but be careful with that. you could also send him porn. don't worry about a turkey dinner if the military does one thing right its make a great holiday dinner.\n\nhope it helps

You can make his favorite meal from scratch.  Do everything homemade.  Have a quite candlelight dinner just the two of you. Eat your top layer from your wedding cake if you had one (or go get a small wedding cake if you didn't).  Enjoy a quite romatic night together.  Tell him how you have treasured the year together recalling certain memories.  The wonderful homecooked meal is your gift to him; as well as letting him know that you have treasured the memories this year.

All you need is his/her address.  Do not send alcohol, pornography, weapons, ammunition or anything else that common sense would tell you is not allowed by the military.\n\nAnother thing not to send is chocolate.  You can get away with sending it in winter but now the tempratures are high enough that it will melt (and get all over everything).  fragile items are also not likely to survive the trup.\n\nBelow is a link to a Usenet article that discussed what to do/not do when sending care packages to servicemembers in Iraq.

How about sending them to Iraq

Hi. My husband was in the marine corp. and now he is in the army. You can call or email the USO  or the post office and ask them if they still do care packages for troops. You can go to school/church/or around your community and collect snacks, toiletries, international calling cards, big quantity of items can be sold in Sam's club. for women and men to Iraq. Thank you for thinking of our soldiers and troops. God bless you!

well, since I am married sex is out of the question. I would make him a big homecooked meal with all of his favorite foods. I would draw him some nice hot bathwater so he could take a relaxing bath. I could give him a back and foot massage.I would write him letters while he was in service. send him care packages. Would that be enough? I can not think of anything else.

Have a party for him.  Not just any  party, but a very special one and invite all of his friends and family.  Hold that boy in your arms and tell him how much you love him, and after he goes, write to him every single day without fail.  Letters are so important to our soldiers.  When he is in basic training and he calls home for the first time (he'll be calling collect) Tell him and tell him again how much you love him and miss him and give him all the news from home because he will be starving to hear about it.  My heart is with you, as a mother that has experienced this.

You might try creating an iMemoryBook for him. My roommate is creating a book for his fiance right now. He wrote his story of how they met and how they got engaged, then she wrote her story. Then Justin (my roommate) invited me, and all of his family and her family to the book to write their favorite memories about the two of them. When they are done, iMemoryBook will ship them a hardbound color copy of the book. I know that if I was in Iraq, there isn't much that would be more meaningful than a memory book full of all my favorite memories of family and friends.

BE NICE! Whoever is over in Iraq needs love, understanding, and compassion. He does NOT need some stupid joke.\n\nGet a better idea. Find a way to build him up! Besides, Italians are some of the best people on the planet (I know, because I lived in Italy for a time). They are some of the most wonderful people you will find anywhere...

Try getting a sampler plate of traditional greek and turkish food (both are fairly similar with key differences)  Ask the resteraunt if you can order a little of everything.  They should be able to cut you a deal.  Particularly cool if you want to do it in traditional greek style and rather then have it plated for you you have it all laid in serving dishes on the table and pass it around thanksgiving style.  This encourages communication and socialization in a time that, in American tradition, is normally kinda quiet.

Well, first of all congrats on finding each other again. \nYou can never do to much for him while he is over there. My husband, is over there also but he is in the Army. He has been gone for 8 months and he has to serve 18months there. Keep on what your doing. That is what keeps those guy's going. Knowing, that they have someone back at home caring for them thinking about them and waiting for them to come home. There going to fight there hardest so they can get home sooner to be with that person. So, Hun you are doing everything right. Your not over doing yourself. Keep sending lots of pictures, spray your perfume on them so he can smell you so he can think at night your right by his side. Send him little packages with cookies and little things that he can keep with him to remind him of you.  So, best of luck to you Hun and your boyfriend.

I told my husband that I am so thankful for him. He is a wonderful man, and I love him with all of my heart. I told him to do a good job, and please come home safe. I told him about the kids and how big they are getting, and how we had a picnic today instead of the usuall thanksgiving feast because it is always his job to make the turkey, and I have no idea how now that he is gone. I told him the news in the neighborhood, and I told him about the new PX on base. I told him anything that would make him smile.

Do what I do. In a loud German accent yell. OUT OUT OUT! If that seems to crude get them playing some games or watch football or a good movie. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
