Receiving mail and packages is often the

highlight of a trooper's day, so when you "adopt" a soldier, sailor, airman or

marine, Coast Guardsman,it's important to mail the first package ASAP. .If you have decided to send packages

during their complete deployment, remember that the last day to mail out

packages would be one month prior to the departure date. Otherwise it will come

back to you after a long period of time and remember the dates of return are

tentative and could change.and I DO NOT get any updates,once the name is sent to

you. than you are the only contact.I will not have anything more than what i

send you.On your first mailing, please let them know that their name was given

to you by A Soldiers Wish List , so the trooper knows from where you received

their name (for security purposes). Please include a note to let them know where

this great gift is from. Remember that our troops are in "harms way" and may not

be able to answer, and please dont do this program if you

are expecting an answer, and e-mail is not always available or working,

but they do appreciate the boxes a great deal. Please remember it's called a

"wish list", so you are NOT obligated to fulfill all

the requests . And if for some reason you find you are not able to do this,

please let me know, so I may re-assign your trooper to someone else.if you

decide to "adopt" more just let me know through my personal e-mail and I will as send

many as you like For assistance with mailing Refer to the "Send a Package" link

on our web site. If you have questions that are not addressed there, please

contact me at soldiersmother2@charter.net .you can send them a package once, or

continue to support them during their total deployment. Many people have

enlisted the help of their co-workers or

friends.
