How about, cough, backup copies of DVDs?

I'd be more apt to send them some interesting reading and a box of stogies. Somethin to let 'em know that life has a fun side.

My understanding is that they are short on good movies. And they love cigars!!! I just sent two boxes. They like chew also.

PM me if you want my address or I can send you address to a few troops over seas for you to mail to directly.

Thanks!!!
