WORKHORSE ARMY UNIT IN AFGHANISTAN REQUEST SUPPORT

My unit is deployed to Afghanistan. We are from Hunter Army Airfield, Ga. We will be here until the end of 2010. From what we have heard it gets very cold in the winter time and a lot of us are without blankets and things to keep us warm. The PX only holds a certain amount of items. And with the Marines, Navy, Air Force and Army it is first come first served.

The list of items that we can use and need are as follows:

Cigarettes (Newports preferably), Board Games, Music Entertainment (Country, Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock, R&B and Hip- Hop), DVD's, Christmas Decorations, books, magazines, personal hygiene items. I mean I know this may seem like a lot of things but these are the list of items that keep our morale up. Some of the soldiers families don't send them items so we all just share what we have. We are working 12 or more hours a day 7 days a week and we just want something at least to keep us more focused on the mission. We would also like to write people and have people write us. Thank-you!
