Items requested for Adopt-A-Platoon
Information Provided by Rachel Bogle
Our care package will be very much appreciated by 10 soldiers working in
a medical clinic in Iraq. They are deployed from Ft. Lewis, WA until
July 2007. These medics work very long, hard hours taking care of the
wounded soldiers and they truly appreciate our thoughtfulness.
Requests: dvd movies, coffee, creamer, instant oatmeal,
tuna pouches and snack packs, drink mix singles, snacks, magazines and books
(as far as movies go, ASK around: Movies Music and More (in the dorms),
Libraries and Movie Rental places are sometimes looking to get rid of
movies. Also, check out Walmart or any other places that may have great
deals on movies. Also, ask roomates or friends if they have any dvds
that they would like to get rid of!)

Also, if you have the means to send home-made cookies, that is one of

asking if I will be doing it again when they go to Afghanistan!

(Chocolate Chip cookies are OKAY though, and usually APPRECIATED!)
Also, feel FREE to write a short (or long) letter or send a card. If we
can get 10 letters or thank you cards for this platoon that would be
wonderful. So if you all could bring one along I can add it to the box
and we will have more than enough (which is good because sometimes
soldiers get sent over to join a platoon later than the others, so no
one should be left out!) In the letters, you are more than welcome to
ask them to write back, and include your address. They usually will
write you a letter to thank you, and you may even gain a penpal if
you'd like.
