Military Care Packages Biography
I have been asked by many family members and others what items our deployed servicemen and women would find useful and appropriate for a "Care Package" or as better-than-issued equipment. With extensive deployed operations expected to continue for the foreseeable future, our troops will require, and deserve, continued support from those of us for whom they are fighting. Regardless of your position on any particular mission, these men and women are doing their duty to you and our country, going in harm's way and sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice. They deserve our unwavering support.
I should first note that some media reports have sometimes included confusing and incorrect information with regards to shipment of care packages to forward deployed troops. The Department of Defense has issued a news release on March 22, 2003 which requested that "the general public is urged not to send unsolicited mail, care packages or donations to service members forward deployed unless you are a family member, loved one or personal friend." (Click on the linked text for the complete press release) However, if you know someone who is deployed well enough to contact their family, this may provide an avenue for you to send a care package or contribute to one they are sending.
If you want to send a care package to a particular service member, but haven't the time or resources to assemble and ship it yourself, there are numerous commercial nd non-profit operations that will do so for a fee, offering a variety of standard or custom assembled care packages. To locate these services, click here to search on the term "military care package" using Google. Please note that some of these business and organizations may not be legitimate and you should carefully check out any organization before committing your funds. One site that we have received positive feedback about is AnySoldier.com. It provides both collection of items for soldiers as well as care packages. The USO operates "Operation USO Care Package" which takes your $25 donation and sends a care package and your personal note to a randomly selected deployed service member.
