(Note: Operation U.S. Troop Support, Inc. is fully directed and supported by unpaid volunteers, thus except for indirect related expenses, 100% of donations directly benefit U.S. soldiers.)

Please collect and send the following items to our address, and we will add these to our troop shipments:

• New warm, wool/wool blend socks for troops serving in the cold, mountainous regions of Afghanistan
• Cash donations to purchase socks and other needed items and to defray shipping and associated expenses - Shipping expenses are quite costly!
• Letters and cards of support
• Snacks such as beef jerky, Ramen noodles, gum, trail mix, gum, peanuts, snack crackers, and drink mixes
• Toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, lotion, lip balm, deodorant, toothpaste, disposable razors, toothbrushes, etc.
• Small toys for the soldiers to give to the Afghan and Iraqi children. Soldiers like to give such toys as gestures of goodwill. Donated toys need to be small enough to fit in a backpack. For example, Beanie Babies are just the right size.
• Movie DVDs, electronic games, and board games
• International telephone calling cards
• Flip flops to wear in showers
• Deodorizers
• Laundry sheets
• Non-alcohol baby wipes
• Batteries
• Professional gear (visit www.uscombatgear.com)
