Special requests
We've posted lists of care package items before, but there's no better source for suggestions than our Marines. Here's a wish list from Capt John A. Kasparian for 3/25 Marines in the wild wild west of Iraq.
We have a few things that we would really like to get.
A few special requests for care packages that we value at Camp Hadithah and our other Camps between combat operations... Some of it is pure fun stuff.
Handy Wipes, Lunch Food, Computer Data Sticks, DVD's, CD's, and
headsets. The Marines come out of the field and like to listen to music or play DVD's. Many of the Marines have portable DVD players and IPods. In my day it used to be a book and an old newspaper!!
A group gift that we value higher then most items: If a group of people want to send something special, Projectors (One Eyes we call them) are GOLD! When we conduct combat operations out of our camps, we sometimes come back and everyone crowds into someone's room/tent and we project movies on the wall. It's a great moral booster.
Also, we donate a lot of our items to Iraqi families. Some things that are outside the normal military Civil Affairs are:
a. School supplies (markers, crayons, notebooks, calculators, etc.)
b. Children's wristwatches
c. Toys (stuffed animals, soccer balls, frisbees, etc.)

Capt Kasparian and his Marines are halfway through their deployment. If you'd like to send a care package to this group, e-mail me for an address.
