What foods should I mail to a soldier in Iraq?

Rachel F asked:


My husband is a soldier in Iraq and he works the night shift out there. They don’t serve meals at night and so he has to wake up early to eat or go hungry. He asked me to send him ready-to-eat food like tuna and ramen noodles. I just need other ideas of non-parishable food items that I can send in the mail and can handle the weather being 130 degrees F without any refridgeration. Any ideas would be apreciated. Thanks.

How do our troops work to protect the innocent civilians in Iraq?

Desi asked:


Do our troops protect the defenseless civilians from Iraq and should they? I would like to know if they just kill anyone who is in their way that is innocent or they protect them?

Iraq?

D asked:


So its obvious that there are Insurgents other than Iraqis fighting in Iraq by now, whether you support Bush or not you cant deny that fact. If Iraq cant be “won” in terms that people were expecting then it cant be won, but in the mean time all of those against the US are flocking to Iraq. I liked the metaphor someone used on here a couple minutes ago, Iraq is a sh!thole, and all the flys are going right to it.

Is it now good that all of our enemys in the area are flocking to one place, where we are able to kill them all? America might not “win” the War, but they sure are taking care of alot of our enemies arent they? Can people against the War even deny that?

What kind of cell phone will work in Iraq due to deployment?

Heyyygirlheyyy asked:


I hear that quadband phones should work. I have a quadband phone from AT&T. I am aware that prices will be higher, though. If I get an international roaming plan with that phone should that work out? Or could I atleast use a sim-card from Iraq? Please respond with helpful information.

I need help with fundraising for the troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Can anyone help me?

Secret asked:


I just started working with a fundraising company that was appointed by an important veterans organization to help raise funds for the troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The executive director is amazing, she knows so many people and is inspiring.

My problem is that I can’t find anyone to get on board and I don’t get paid unless I raise funds. I have contacted all kinds of organizations across the countries to no avail. This is a nationwide initiative and I’m losing time and money.

The troops keep me going because they are so brave and selfless. I attended a benefit for disabled troops 10 days ago and I finally saw a product of what I could achived with all the time I spend trying to find sponsors. One day I will have my own fundraiser.

But until then, I’m running out of money and I need some good suggestions of organizations or individuals that will sponsor an event. Your troops will be greatful.
We are a new company and our site is still a little bare, supporttaskforce.com. We are affiliated with the Vietnam Veterans of America and Vietnam Veterans Assistance Fund. We were featured in the Veteran, the VVA publication on page 4. We also just helped welcome troops from Walter Reed at a pizza party last week before the Achilles Hope & Possibilities Run in NYC.
All donations go directly to the VVAF for programs and services. We are paid by the VVA not from the funds we raise.
These programs will benefit the troops in mental and physical health services, career counseling services, homeless services, and services for the disabled.
