My youngest son was in Iraq 2004-2005 and he told me not to send Pork Skins (he loved them but said they couldn’t have them there!!!) I did send a lot of the Jerky and his buddies liked them --------then again, he was (most of the time) in the Green Zone at the Coalition Headquarters. He did go out all over Iraq with the commanders as he was over part of the communications, networking, phone, and routing.
The largest thing he asked of me in the summer time was BABY WIPES!!!!! He said that they would put them down in their shirts because it is so hot and the sand gets down in there! I would send 7-10 packages bought at the Dollar Tree each time I sent a package! It seemed he was always asking for them!
