Absolutely they love the different themed and different sets. They love the ones made from old jeans. Touches of home, flowers for the women, remember they are fighting in a man's world but I happen to know they DO like to get flowers on their quilts.
Hugs,
Sharon

I've had people ask me how to tell if they are younger, meaning just joined or not. Guess some just wanted to send to the young ones thinking that they probably missed their families more. I would tell them that it really doesn't matter. They ALL miss their families.
Right now we are in the midst of having our "penciled" orders cancelled and hubby going to the "giant sandbox" for a tour. Not sure how I feel about that, but if they say he has to go, then he has to go. Nothing I can do.
I guess with David OTR I understand the being gone all the time. It is very hard and takes a very strong woman to love and support. Having him sent into a war zone has to add more stress.
Thanks for the Marine link I will have to make a couple and send them.
I forgot all about anysolider need to find a marine from Idaho in honor of David.

My prayers are with the families and the ones who are deployed. Speaking as a woman who was deployed while on active duty I can tell you that anything from home is great. I can also tell you that it was harder having my daughter deploy 3 days after I got home. What I did was send lots of letters, home made stuff and of course silly stuff. The silly stuff was a great hit. My daughter worked in the medical career field so I sent ring suckers (by the 100s--from bulkfoods.com), water balloons, patriotic decorations since it was memorial day, etc. She, in turn, would share with the troops in the hospital.
NOTHING beats a note, letter, or package from the states...no matter how big or small.
Thanks to all who serve and all who support those who serve.
