Help with care package for a soldier in Iraq

[AlGore-08.com]

I know this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it in the archives - - my brother just heard from an old friend who he had lost touch with, and turns out he's serving in Iraq! We want to send him a care package, can somebody repost the list of items they need over there?

All I remember is:

Sweetened koolaid
Hard candy
Moist towlettes

Thanks a lot for the help!
