Anysoldier.com coordinates with service members in the Middle East. Packages sent to the AnySoldier contact with the line “Attn: Any Soldier” will be distributed to members of the unit. On the “Where to Send” page, there are messages from the contacts, descriptions of life in-country, and a wish list for the unit. We went there and found this:

A benefit show for Any Soldier Inc., is scheduled for November 3rd at the Stress Factory Comedy Club. STARRING: NANCY RYAN, RICH VOS, JIM NORTON, ERIC MCMAHON, TONY DARO AND VINNIE BRAND!Click HERE for details. Tickets are going FAST!

Here’s a suggestion from SHECKYmagazine.com:

There are hundreds of items on the “What to send” page– things like razors, Tylenol, baby wipes and batteries. But they also are pining for things like DVD’s and CD’s! So, along with a few of those items (and a nice letter from home) SEND THEM YOUR COMEDY CD!

One particularly touching thing we read was that they also are soliciting Beanie Babies– the soldiers can easily carry a few around at all times and give them to the kiddies they encounter. Go to the site now and throw together a package and send it along the next time you go to a post office to mail out a press kit!
