A) According to Noel:

1. the names of the soldiers in Charles’ unit CAN NOT  be given out!!!  They are in security.  Noel does not even know where Charles is.  Which is why she can’t get a picture for us.  Charles is not allowed.

2. She tells me that Charles and his troop members do not always have access to a computer

3. Her suggestion was to send (for example) a case of toothpaste to Charles and let him distribute it.  HOWEVER, Donna read on http://www.anysoldier.com that IF multiple packages as sent to one soldier, it will stop mail to the entire group and that is not what we want to happen.

 

B) At this point with Charles not being able to release names, etc.,  I am asking each of us to write a letter to Dear Soldier and send it to Charles’ address.  In this letter to the soldier, I am asking that you ask the soldier IF he/she:

1. wants to be adopted or just wants letters from you with no gifts

2. WHAT is it he/she wants/needs (this will dictate what to send him/her)

3. ask if he/she wants items sent to their family IN THE NAME OF THE SOLDIER.
