Mailing Instructions: It's Easy!

Is the thought of sending humanitarian supplies to Afghanistan intimidating? No worries! It's easy.

When you send our troops supplies for the Afghan people, you will need to fill out a customs form, which will be available at the post office:

The cost of shipping isn't prohibitive. The package I mailed weighed 11 pounds, 10.8 ounces. The cost for regular mail was $14.46, and for Priority Mail was $17.20.

So next time you are making a run to mail Christmas packages, put together a package for Afghanistan, too. You will be helping to make a difference for our troops as well as for the Afghan people.

Here are the main requests:

Winter clothes, gloves, scarves, toboggans, and coats.

Also any medical supplies; gloves, medications, diapers, baby powder and formula and any over the counter meds.

And once again, the address:
Michael Larkin or Mark Roper
41 BCT HHC 1-180 SECFOR
Camp Phoenix, AF
APO, AE 09320
