• Please keep in mind that all food items must be in the manufacturer’s original packaging.
• NO chocolate - 110 degree heat and chocolate do not mix well, though M&M’s are fine.
• Ziploc bags make sure that potentially leaky items don’t make a mess during shipping, and service members use them to keep sand out of their things while in the desert.

MilitaryConnection.com supports those who serve. We want to encourage our users to remember our soldiers and marines who are far from home. We have begun a new area of the site called “Packages & Letters to Troops” to provide information on shipping comfort packages to our deployed soldiers and marines. You will find information on postal rates to APO/FPO addresses. You will also find information on holiday shipping dates. We work with many wonderful non-profit groups that support those who serve. We want to provide special recognition to one that we work with on a regular basis, Soldiers Angels. This is a group of 200,000 volunteers. They provide all types of support for those who serve including sending out thousands of comfort backpacks each week. If you have items for soldiers and marines and want help, please send us an email at info@miltiaryconnection.com. We will provide you contact information to ship out comfort items to our deployed soldiers and marines. When the next tour is back home, it’s on MilitaryConnection.com.
