supportIt may be too late to send a package to a soldier (or anyone, for that matter!) and have it reach them by Christmas, but our troops appreciate care packages throughout the year!

Started in August 2003 by Sergeant Brian Horn, an Army Infantry Soldier with the 173rd Airborne Brigade while he was in the Kirkuk area of Iraq, to help care for his soldiers, AnySoldier.com is a great resource for anyone interested in sending a care package to a soldier, but may not have a name and address to do so. SGT Horn originally agreed to distribute packages that came to him with "Attn: Any Soldier" in his address to soldiers who didn't get mail and his generosity has since served 120,341 support troopsService Members!

The project has expanded to include AnySailor.com, AnyMarine.com, AnyAirman.com, and AnyCoastGuard.com.

Simply visit the site to get wish lists straight from the troops themselves, as well where to send packages and when they are expected home.

Send a care package today!Why not send a care packge today? Make a soldier's day! (Or a sailor, marine or airman!) Send them something they'd love to have from home! The website will also tell you how many times a specific service member's address has been requested, so you can look for someone who, perhaps, has not received a package yet. What a great system!

What a REALLY GREAT idea!  Mind if I post a link to this from my "Anti-Stuff" post?  Just think--instead of sending a gift to "Aunt Jane", send a care package to a soldier in Iraq!  I'm doing that, right now...

Thank you for posting this, Maura!  Happy Prosperous Holidays and New Year!

I had no idea that a Soldier from the 173rd started that site.  When I arrived in the Kirkuk area in January 2004, my unit, the 25th Infantry Division (Light) from Hawaii, replaced the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Kirkuk.  Small world.  Thanks again for all that you do for the troops!  Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka.

This is great information and I didn't know about that website, let alone, that a soldier had started it.  Thanks for the info.

Hi, Donna! Thanks for reading, and you're welcome for the info! I just had the pleasure of passing this info on to my broker, as well, as our brokers are planning a company-wide drive for supplies for soldiers.

It's a great resource to have!
