*See
pictures of schools that sent packages to our troops!
Due to heightened security and safety concerns we are now asking that you please include your full name, your home address, and your phone number when requesting a units' address.
Emails requesting unit's addresses that do not provide complete info (name, address, number) will not be responded to. Please do not give the addresses out to third parties (for example, do not post the addresses in a public place, give out to people or ask catalog companies to mail catalogs to troops etc). Please remember to click links provided for mailing restrictions and to include the unit's name in the subject line. Please allow up to
2 weeks to hear back from
Noanie. NOTE!
Yahoo has been sending some valid emails to the BULK / spam
folder. We try to sort through it but sometimes good
emails get lost. If you don't hear back within 14 days,
please resend your email and change the subject line a bit
and include NOANIE in subject.
NEW! You can also email Noanie with your name, address, phone # and ask for "the unit that could use the most help" by clicking here. Some units get lots of requests while others don't so we have added this option. Thanks for showing your support!
COMBAT
ENGINEER UNIT IN IRAQ REQUEST SUPPORT
We are deployed to Iraq until
early Spring 2009. Our unit is a combat engineer unit doing convoy
security missions. We don't have a lot of down time but when we do we
are short on extra entertainment. Our wish list would be anything
entertaining. We have a px here but it is very small and we have 3
diff nations here and if you don't get there on shipment day you cant
get anything. I am requesting this for my team. We really appreciate
all the help and support you give us back home and our prayers go out
to all the good people who are helping us.

U.S.
TROOPS IN NORTHERN AFGHANISTAN REQUEST SUPPORT
First off thank you for the
help you have given others. I am a Chief Petty Officer
currently deployed to Northern Afganistan on a (FOB) forward
operating base. I have about 85 soldier, airmen and
army with me in my platoon and we don't have very much in
the way home here. We have no creature conforts or
snacks so anything and everything would be a great help.
Healthy snacks would also be great! We will be deployed
until March 09. Thank-you for your help!

MARINES
FROM NORTH CAROLINA IN IRAQ REQUEST SUPPORT
I am a Staff Sergeant, United States Marine Corps. Our unit
is CLB-6 and we are based out of Camp Lejeune, North
Carolina. This is our second time out here in Iraq, after a
very short break from our previous deployment, almost feels
like we never left. I have a slightly different crew this
time, some were with me here 6 months ago, others were just
activated from the reserves and of course I have a handful
that just got out of school and have never been anywhere.
The Marines enjoy playing with their PSPs and Nintendo DS
when they have a chance. We also have a routine workout
program and many of us use supplements to help maintain our
conditioning and achieve our personal goals. Magazines and
motivational pictures are also nice to have here to help
take our minds off of work occasionally. I'd like to thank
you for setting up such wonderful program for all deployed
service members. In today's world it's nice to see that
there are still some people that at least care for those of
us that are doing our jobs honorably and not just focus on
the negative aspect of what is televised. I promise that
good things are happening here and we are all doing our part
regardless of age, gender or race to the fullest. Thank you
again!

Greetings from a surprisingly cold Baghdad.
We would really love to receive cards and
letters of support and anything fun to read that is not restricted - check
all restrictions here. We
would also appreciate more health food (power / nutritional
type bars / drinks etc) than junk
food but we are happy to receive either or both! It would also be nice
to receive
DVDs,
individual hand and face wipes (Wash
'N Dry Towelettes, Individual Wraps etc). Some of the troops could use international phone
cards. Remember, if you can't send any items, please try to
