when a good friend of mine is over there he usually wants magazines and candy/snacks. When my kids went trick or treating this year I took most of their candy, threw it in a large flat rate box (FULL), and shipped it over.
His last request was for some pumpkin bread and cinnamon bread so Im working on that right now.
the most recent playboy special edition you can find, big bag of jack links jerkey, STATESIDE tobacco ( stufff from the CONUS is like gold there), some spam or other tasty treat and then some pics and letters as a reminder of what the hell they are over there fighting for!!!
