I have seen soldiers or marines who are dog handlers and they request toys for their dogs.

One unit found 4 cats and a dog and requested food for them - I included quite a bit in the care package I sent. When a soldier writes back to me, I answer and include a box of candy like DOTS or MIKE and IKES. I recently wrote to a soldier in Iraq who is from Ocala - I hope he answers me.

A large flat rate box is $10.95 to send to an APO or FPO address. I even got donations from my women"s club and sent a box. Have another ready to go.

It's a wonderful website for our men and women and what a way to say "thank you".
