Guys. I am going to send McD a care package from the states. Hell, I don't even know who this guy is but he is a Bills fan in the combat zone. I need your help. What should I include? Help me give a little comfort to a fellow Bills fan that's putting his ass on the line in the middle east. Please list suggestions for the package here.

Good point. EVen if he does not smoke he can either trade or give them to his buddies. Three cartons enough?

Don't give them cigarettes. Cigarettes are bad for your health.

A DVD copy of the Comeback Game would be pretty nice to have over there... I guess a lot of guys have portable DVD players over their that run on batteries...

I guess batteries would be good to send too...

I just sent a package over there with 3 different kinds of homemade cookies. They say not to send chocolate right now because it's so hot, but the guy I e-mail said he didn't care, he'd lick the chocolate out of the baggie if he had to. :D Also, there are a lot of biting bugs over there, so Cortisone or Stingeze or something like that would be good. I also sent a couple packs of playing cards. Gatorade powder mixes are good, but I couldn't find any at our grocery stores. :( I think a lot of it is the thought that counts - I'm sure they enjoy getting mail. :)

Baby wipes were something I sent to a relative in Iraq at his asking. Also things like Sports Illustrated/Maxim/Readers Digest (even old issues) are good.

Eyedrops
hard candy like "jolly rannchers"
saline nose spray

Erics' suggestion about wipes/moist toweletts in individual packets is Great.

Toilet paper is usually in short supply.
