OK, for those of you that have served or have family that has I would like any suggestions you have for what I should send in these. My little brother is heading over again next week and I was just wanting suggestions from people who have been there done that, he was on the first boat over after 9-11 and we didn't know anything until after he came back so needless to say he didn't get anything from us that time, and he didn't really talk about it so it didn't upset our mother and grandmother.
I know that they always ask for baby wipes, sun block, bug repellent, non-perishable candy and snacks, and some other things, but I just am not sure on what else. A friend of my mother's said that she was told not to send over baked goods because they go bad, only pre-packaged things. I know I will definately be having the boys drawing him some pictures and writing him letters also since they love their superman-like Uncle Chad so much, my youngest hadn't even seen him but a couple times before he was about 1 1/2 but my parents made sure that every time they pointed to one of his pictures he knew who it was. He will be 3 next month and the other day he said something about going to see Uncle Chad and it was just so cute. OK, now I have really veered off topic. But any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance--Jen
