The first package has a arrived and the soldiers are ecstatic! :banana:
Charlie took charge of the tobacco products seeing how he doesn't smoke/dip but handed out the other goodies accordingly.
He still hasn't received the package with the flag but I told him it'll be at his destination withing 1-3days. Waiting on the first batch of pictures now.

D@mn, that was fast!
Assuming the other boxes take the same time, 3 days sounds about right.
Can you find out if there was any "shipping" damage; condition of box, cookies reduced to dust, etc?
Just so I can critique/improve my packaging methods.

My contact has ALL the boxes but is waiting for the weather to clear in Iraq before he takes pictures. He said he'll take pictures as soon as it clears up.

Box 2 & 3 have arrived to include the box with the American Flag from Paul and his son. I already have a few pictures but am going to wait for the Flag picture for Veteran's Day (tomorrow).

Here's a taste of the photo's...
He couldn't directly stick them onto some of the vehicles because the commander just so happened to be in the motor pool when he had time to take the photos. Nonethless, they're still pretty cool.
He told me he was going to try to take some photo's without the white backing when he can.
