We send packages to soldiers too. They need lots of different items, but many specifically request coffee, snacks, cookies, and wrapped candy.
If you don't personally know a soldier, but would really like to make someone's day brighter, go to www.anysoldier.com and find a soldier there. They list their needs specifically.
One important note: if you send goods for human consumption, just send the food packaged alone. Don't send it along with baby wipes or cleaning supplies or hand sanitizer. Mail those in a separate box.
Bless all of you who remember and support our troops even in small ways.
