Letters To A Soldier

Jason Tussing
Aco 37th STB-1-126th CAV
Camp Virginia
APO AE 09327

Here is Jason Tussing's address in Kuwait for sending letters, pictures or care packages. Anyone that can send him a letter or even just a newspaper from that day would be great. He doesn't even have to know you... anything from the states is worth millions to a soldier across seas.

What can you send to soldiers through the mail? A small handheld bible is never too big though! Mp3 players, multi tool (Gerber), good knife, camera, it just depends if he will spend more time inside or outside the wire. With some of the other units can't really say what they need or were they will be. Under armor. Both, cold weather and warm weather. I'm assuming he's going to be there through the seasons, and orders could change location. So you always want to make sure that they have something for both times of the year. Even if they don't use it as long as they have it that is all that matters.

These are some of the things that you can not send though the mail: Arms, including air guns; and parts of arms and munitions. Binoculars. Coins; banknotes; currency notes; securities payable to bearer; traveler's checks; gold, silver, platinum, manufactured or not; precious stones; jewelry; and other valuable articles. Lighters containing butane gas. Non-preserved meats and soft fruits. Perishable infectious biological substances. Perishable noninfectious biological substances. Radioactive materials. Tapes or cassettes. You can't send deodorant, and shaving cream if is an aerosol. Personally don't send them more because of the risk of explosion while in the cargo area (not all planes have pressurized cargo holds), Might want to call the post office directly and see what they have to say. Lord only knows what infectious and noninfectious biological substances there are.
