I want to help out
Can people still get in on this care package thing or is it all done? I just saw the thread and want to put some $$ down if it is still possible. I also heard that velveta mac & cheese is the popular over there cuz there is no need for milk, butter etc. Lemme know

The first package has a arrived and the soldiers are ecstatic! :banana:
Charlie took charge of the tobacco products seeing how he doesn't smoke/dip but handed out the other goodies accordingly.
He still hasn't received the package with the flag but I told him it'll be at his destination withing 1-3days. Waiting on the first batch of pictures now.

D@mn, that was fast!
Assuming the other boxes take the same time, 3 days sounds about right.
Can you find out if there was any "shipping" damage; condition of box, cookies reduced to dust, etc?
Just so I can critique/improve my packaging methods.

Box 2 & 3 have arrived to include the box with the American Flag from Paul and his son. I already have a few pictures but am going to wait for the Flag picture for Veteran's Day (tomorrow).

Here's a taste of the photo's...
He couldn't directly stick them onto some of the vehicles because the commander just so happened to be in the motor pool when he had time to take the photos. Nonethless, they're still pretty cool.
He told me he was going to try to take some photo's without the white backing when he can.
