Care packages for soldiers

Freedom comes at a price, and we need to remind our service members often how thankful we are for the job they're doing.

One small way to honor them is by sending a care package. And with Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, there's no better time to share a little taste of home and let them know how much they're loved.

Maybe you'd like to send a care package, but aren't sure what to send. One Marine's View shares a list of items that will most benefit our troops on the ground.

These are a few items that will give us the biggest bang for the buck vs. sending this and that. I can tell you from receiving all kinds of things, it's better you know WHAT we really need instead of sending things that may seem good to have vs. need to have.

See the whole list here.
