2. All you need his his APO address
and take it to the post office..

Here's a list of some of the things we have been sending to the unit we adopted..

We would love to have some names of your son's fellow soldiers.. Ours are rotating back to Germany this Saturday..

We had lots of people here who were happy to send the guys care packages.. We would love to do it for your son too..

When he gets there and gets settled, have him sent you a list of some of his pals who would like to get some packages.. We have been very slim on the female soldiers, so if there are women in his unit, have him include some of them too..
