I know the females have brought the items on the list, just to send it all back in "the box." Andrew went with the clothes on his back. You can also send a very small address book or list of addresses to keep in their wallet or Bible. I wrote Andrew a letter and tucked it in his wallet to read until they get mail and when he was feeling homesick. His Division did not get mail for 18 days, so at least he had something to read when he was feeling down and lonely. One of the Moms said that family and friends all wrote something to her son on the inside covers of the Bible. There is a Navy Bible. I got mine from Ebay. If I think of anything else, I'll add it.
*Oh, if they take their cell phone, it will come back in the box inside their shoes.
