Since I'm pretty sure we all agree that we admire service-people however we feel about the organizations that direct them or particular reasons for deploying them-
We need a Stick-Post with directions for:
1. How to send care-packages to particular members who are service-people in harms way, and/ or to a "general fund" for "stranger service-people" we could send in our members' names.
2. Updated info and/or Web-sites with info about what our service-people actually need or would like, and info about classic things us straights send that they don't actually need.
#2, real info from service-people about what they want & don't need, is something I haven't been able to find anywhere. Through another site I've sent 2 packages to folks, and both times it turned out afterwards that I ended up including something that they either didn't need, or that were fairly available if they felt like buying it themselves...
