Recently I became aware of a wonderful program. I must credit a radio show called Whatever with Alexis Stewart, yes Martha’s daughter, and her friend Jennifer Koppelman Hutt. I don’t have Sirius Satellite Radio but I do check their website and there I get a synopsis of what they and the callers talk about daily. I investigated further and thought I must participate in this program. It was so easy!
The website is www.anysoldier.com. There I read some stories including what the various men and women of the military would appreciate in a “care package”. Then I found myself at CVS since most of the requests were for toiletries. Magazines, DVDs, snack food and photo paper are also sought after commodities.
I returned to the website, since you must check to be sure that the person you will send a package to is still listed. With troop movement and the end of a tour of duty you wouldn’t want to send a package to someone who was no longer there. After securing the package and writing a little note all that remained was to mail it. The cost for 5-6 pounds ends up being about $8.00 – so worth it. If you think you might want to participate or if you are just curious, please visit http://www.anysoldier.com/. The brave men and women in uniform will surely be grateful!
