[Steppes] Frederich's Boxes

[Curtis]

I will have some items to add to the box at the next Business meeting. Have
we covered the cost of shipping this one out yet?

I am a collector of foreign currencies. Last count I had about 15.

Greetings, The Steppes!
 
Once again, I take a moment of your time to post a reminder to add just an
item or two to your shopping list in the name of our fallen friend.
We need 'stuff' to send to our units!  The signal corps (6 men, 2 women) is
coming home in January, but the Engineers (65 male, 15 female) are there til
at least March.
 
Here are some ideas:
 
Gallon-size Ziploc bags
pump-style bug repellant
hard candy (tootsie rolls don't melt, and they're chocolate!) 220/110
voltage converters female necessities socks male and female underwear
magazines CDs books (guys like Clancy, Creighton, etc. Women evidently will
read anything that has words in it) BEANIE BABIES, or toys like them Protein
shakes healthy snacks not-healthy snacks (you know - your own favorites) air
fresheners (anything that smells good, honestly) canned nuts tuna (any
canned meat EXCEPT Spam, really) twin size bed linens baseballs and gloves
jump ropes any 'tools' for outdoor sport, including fishing American themed
anything at all
 
This box needs to be out of the US by November 15 to reach our units by
Christmas.  Please help us add to the absolute deluge these lonely people
deserve at that time of year.  
 
PS:  They love letters - they actually answer them!!
 
PPS:  Is anyone a collector of foreign money?
