We are very proud of them and the sacrifices they have made by leaving their families and we want them to know how much this means to us.

When sending care packages do not send toiletries such as soap, shampoo, shower gel, cologne or deorderent with any food products. Regardless of how well you separate them in ziploc bags the smell of the toiletries will "spoil" the taste of the food.
NO porn, alcohol, or any pork products at all!!!
If you wish to send care packages to a specific soldier, you are welcome to use the names of the soldiers listed in the photos. If you would prefer sending a package to a soldier who has not received any care packages from home that is fine too. Contact us at the email below and we will get an address to you on where to ship your packages.
For contact information concerning address and/or needs list for this unit, due to privacy concerns, please contact us at dadriver@plaid19.com.
