Let's not forget that it's PEOPLE who are serving in Iraq, whether you agree or not. Almost every person here knows at least one person who is currently deployed in Iraq. While we should do everything in our power to bring them home ASAP, we should do everything in our power to make their life as easy as possible. My wife and I routinely send care packages to our neighbors' son who is serving someone in Iraq (we have no idea where).

Instead of putting a yellow ribbon magnet on your car, do something that really matters. Of course, we chould do everything in our power to bring them home ASAP. But while we are working on that, there are real people who are suffing over there. And I realize that the Iraqis are suffering too, but let's not forget about the soldiers.
Here's some advice:
Use U.S. Mail Priority Mail pouches. We buy the flat rate boxes and stuff them full. Do not use brown paper wrapped boxes because it causes problems. Also, do not try to send alchohol or nudie magazines, as they will be confiscated.
If you truely care about our troops, send something tomorrow.
