Reference to “flying monkeys” aside [edited to add: they have since removed those words, due to the reaction from pamie.com], this site shows you how to send a care package to Any Soldier. If you don’t personally know someone fighting in this war, perhaps in gratitude you could send hand warmers, instant coffee and tampons to someone who is. [link provided by Amanda]

The index page of pamie.com last year was filled with a list of casualties. I was happy to have the excuse to replace that list with book donations in May. But we will never donate as many books as there were casualties, and I think about that often when I update the donor list. What if I was still reporting all of those names?
