A Lovely Infidel reminds us to remember the troops over the Memorial Day weekend.
What a concept!!!!
Operation USO Care Package provides a cheap and easy way to send packages to the troops. As A Lovely Infidel points out - it doesn’t cost any more than going out to eat. It’s less actually.
Through Operation USO Care Package, you can sponsor a care package for $25 and send along a personal message of support and thanks to a service member. Care packages include requested items such as prepaid international phone cards, sunscreen, snacks, travel size toiletries, and a personal message of support.
Having sent a number of packages myself, I can tell you that’s probably cheaper than going out and buying the stuff and loading up one of those $8 flat-rate boxes from the Post Office.
So what are you waiting for???
It doesn’t get easier than this!
When you are alone in the Middle East, a little something from home can mean a lot. I think it means more than we sitting here in the U.S.A. can realize. Just ask these guys of the 1st Infantry.

If Habeas Corpus successfully weeds the innocent from the guilty, then go for it; if we have folks incarcerated simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, than we should send them home. But I don’t want to risk anymore US lives.
