In case you hadn't already encountered this noteworthy effort, here's a great focus for some holiday time, energy and good will. It doesn't take much money to send a heartfelt gift that lifts hungry spirits.

You ship your packages to specific soldiers to be distributed there.

note the following from the Mudville Gazette:
WHAT? NO MORE AnySoldier.com MAIL??? NO, NOT TRUE!

Due to the massive confusion and panic caused by the message that mail sent to "Any Soldier" will be stopped, we state the following: The Pentagon announced that it could not handle the massive amounts of mail and requested that unsolicited mail not be sent, that packages addressed to "Any Soldier", Any Service Member", etc would not be delivered. The mail from this program IS solicited by the contact, and IS addressed TO the contact. If they withhold mail, it is a federal offense (18 USC 1700-1705)... Please also see "Note #2" on the bottom of "How to Send" I wrote a year ago... Some postal employees and many in the news media are unable to distinguish the difference. To avoid conflict and to ease the tensions of those involved, please put "ATTN: Any Soldier (or Sailor, Airman, or Marine as it applies) under YOUR name in YOUR return address and NOT in the address to the contact. We will resume normal procedures after the holidays. Thank you for your patience and your support! -Marty

Thanks for this, Annie. My family is going to put together a package for a Sailor or Marine this weekend.

I've asked our session group to contribute. We'll include our CD and a group photo... the soldiers are bound to need a new backing for their dart board, or lining for the bottom of the canary cage.

This thread properly belongs in the Pub. If you want to protest, start a thread in the Political forum and I'll provide a link to it.
