what the soldiers really need
hello all, if you really wish to help any soldiers, you can go to anysoldier.com and adopt a soldier from the web site, you can see their profiles, and a list of what they need. batteries are not needed, that seemed to be the most commonly listed thing on the site, i am at F.O.B. Marez in Mosul, and we have about 30,000 aaa, 41,000 aa, and tons of kodak 3volts. big things are beef jerky, snacks that are small and can be eaten quick.candy is great, the stuff we get is usually from Turkey, or Syria. we have tons of gum and baby wipes in fact if you need some we will send you boxes full of them.the biggest thing we need is support at home, even a simple letter of thanks goes a long way. i have been here 11 months and some change, i am now awaiting my flight back to Ft. Lewis WA. i get out in sept 06 and will be back in dallas. thanks to you all for the thought and desire to help it makes the job we do worth the price we sometimes pay. Spc. Joseph Cox 1st Bat. 24th infantry regiment 1st brigade 25 infantry division.
