"We have a major problem. While our stuff was being shipped over here, people (Pakistanis or Afghanis) broke into our Conexs (giant metal containers holding ALL of our stuff) and stole everything! Most of the soldiers in my unit are missing basics like soap, shampoo, deodorant, tooth paste and tooth brushes, razors/blades. Some people don't have bed sheets, or pillows. Their changes of uniform and most of their winter gear and extra army gear has been stolen. And we are in serious need of industrial strength cooking utensils. Mostly just metal spatulas, potato peelers and a few other things. Ill check back with my NCOs and see what all we need. We really would appreciate ANY type of help. The PX is sold out of basically everything and will be til who knows when."
I know that this is a lot to ask, but if you could possibly donate anything; toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, etc often things you can get for less than a few dollars, I know that it would mean a tremendous amount to the men and women overseas who are fighting for us. What better way to give back, especially nearing the holiday season, than to give them basic necessities?
