Got a question about care packages to Iraq if anyone knows.

For the last few years, I've been sending packages overseas and I've had a terrible time as far as a success rate getting to whom I intended. I always tell the post office to mark them so they are distributed to the troops wherever the package actually ends up if not to my intended soldier.

So anyways, I decided to see if there were any care package type sites so I could pay for the package and they would send them out for me.

Particularly, I'd like a site that doesn't insult me for not being a right-wing knuckle dragger. The couple of sites that I've checked out have had very, let's say interesting, things to say about liberals in general and one of them was linked directly to FreakRepublic.

So any ideas on sites like that?

1. have you checked out the USO care packages?

3. Yeah, I saw that but I wanted to send something a little more "fun" at least

for the holidays. The USO site said they send toiletries for the most part. While that stuff is necessary, I wanted to give them a little something that they could enjoy rather than just use. I appreciate the info though.

2. Someone here posted about a site called

www.anysoldier.com. I don't know anything about it, but the website looks good. I was just getting ready to use it for some Christmas packages to the troops.

4. I got the names to mail to from there. They had one link for ready made

packages at treatanysoldier.com, but were kind of limited on the choices. That may be where I end up though. Something is better than nothing.
