I sent a package of goodies to two US Marines, A friend on a forum I frequented, had his son over there and he had written home saying at mail time these guys never got anything and it was heartbreaking to see. So i made up a parcel, a couple of England Cricket team baseball caps, loads of UK sweets, couple of tinned goodies, rice pudding etc, beef jerky etc, some magazines, top gear mags, usual stuff, few medical bits, plasters etc...nothing that would leak or melt etc and sent it off.... got a letter back from son saying they were gobsmacked at mail call and over the moon with the British stuff i had sent as it was different.
