It's Time for a change in pace. I no longer have a deployed soldier and I will continue to post things you can send to your loved one when I get ideas. You may still send ideas to me at Dallas_star11@yahoo.com. I am taking this theme of "For the love of a soldier" in a different direction. Now to try to help families and soldiers cope with life after deployment.

Keeping Cool

Things you can send to help keep cool!
Those little battery powered fans. They also have spray bottles with batteries powered fans attached these are nice as well. Make sure you send extra batteries as they will die quickly with lots of use. They may only be able to use these in their rooms or around the FOB but they will still get use.
Neck coolers. They have little beads in them that when soaked in water for a few minutes expand. They tie around your neck and help to keep you cool. You can usually find them at Walgreen's and wal-mart when the weather starts getting warmer.
Bandannas that can be soaked and wrapped on the head beneath the helmet.
Remember to get these things in colors that will blend with the uniform and not stand out.
