Amma and Purple Passion,
Sorry I didn't come back to answer your questions....call me insane, it's ok, I am! Just ask my kids and husband.
They request, tan, camoflage tans/ browns, and no flowers, the gals might like them but the guys don't. lol lol Anytime I'm in one of the Walmarts or fabric shops I look for the cammo fabric and use my coupons so I can buy more. I'll keep making them and sending them even after the 3rd Brigade comes home, someone's else has sons and daughters there.
I use a flat rate box, available at the PO on request and it goes for about $8.90. That's the best rate you can get.
If you don't know a unit from one of your nearby bases to send them to, let me know and I'll get you the address. There are 500 soldiers in my son't brigade so you know even with it getting cooler now, they will need them over there again soon.
Peace in our lifetime,
Sharon
