I think I’ve found a new school/charitable project for our family:
Operation Send-a-Box
"Operation Send-a-Box aspires to send a care package to every soldier in the Sabre squadron over a one month period — ambitious since there are over a thousand soldiers serving in this strategic location. The squadron’s chaplain has agreed to distribute packages to soldiers who have not yet received mail from home, beginning with the lowest ranked soldiers."
In the past we sent a couple of packages to a college friend while he was in Iraq, which really helped personalize the war for the kids.
