(Just a note that there are Female Service-members overseas too.) grab a handful of $1 toothbrushes, travel medicine such as Tylenol packs, generic brand things, etc. Generic baby wipes are important, as they use them for cleaning themselves and their weapons.

They don't need stamps because they can mail letters back to the states for free. AA Batteries are a top priority item, as they use it for CD players, other portable items, flashlights, and anything else that requires batteries.
