Looks like I will be flying out this week. I want to thank you for being there; not just for us, but for the folks in America who want to help or support us. You have been a good friend and I personally thank you for helping us assist the children in northern Iraq. If I can be of any help to anysoldier, let me know.

Best regards,

Clint Hanna

Yes, they were happy to see us in Esseyon, Iraq.


PLS truck and soldiers of the 401st TC CO deliver a container of school supplies (desks, blackboards and a gift bag for every student) to a small village on the Iraq-Turk-Syrian border.


A group of the children who have received the gift packs from the states.

Heat finally broke here a couple of weeks ago. Most days now don't get much over 100. The threat level has continued to go up since May; all you see on CNN is what can be filmed from the Green Zone. We have just completed our 100th Civil-Military assistance convoy in Iraq! SSG Damian and I have about two months left before we head back to the states to get ready to come back. My replacement should be here soon and we will have a few weeks together to ensure a seamless transfer and to make sure the support from America continues to the villages. We receive mail every three or four days, and without fail there are 10-20 boxes and/or cards from people who heard about us from anysoldier.us. The volume of beenie babies and school supplies is great! We are looking to do a final push to the remote rural villages of northern Iraq over the next 45 days, so anyone who wants to help.... this is the time.

I'm back in beautiful northern Iraq! Three day R&R in Qatar was nice (although the base was locked down due to terrorist threat, so we couldn't relax in the gulf!).

SSG Damian and I are still leading soldiers out to rural areas to meet Iraqi's and distribute school supplies, soccer balls, volley balls and hundreds of beenie-babies and other items your friends send to us. School starts here in early September and we would like to make a huge push of sports equipment to the schools, so if anyone has the means or is affiliated with a company that can donate items for school children, we will make sure they get a good home!

We have also become a second PX! We found it easier to reach more soldiers by laying out the snacks and personal hygiene supplies on tables sent by our friends from AnySoldier.US in my office. Word quickly got out and now we are the first stop for soldiers looking for "something".

In thanking the hundrends of people from around the nation who have remembered us, I ask that you continue your prayers and wishes for Chaplain Vakoc (Father Tim) and his family. He has finally fought off the four infections that plagued him, but he is still in very critical condition at Walter-Reed.

If you have people wanting to send us UNDERARMOR (UA), they are saints! That stuff does work. Speaking only for my detachment, the tight fit is preferred about 9 to 1. Color must be army tan/brown color (under "tactical wear" on UA's webpage).

To answer your questions, socks can be either green or black military boot socks or UnderArmor socks. PT socks have to be all white with no logo's. They can't be ankle length or knee length (yes we have received some knee length!).

To update our request:
- For people interested in helping us get UnderArmor: shirts (tight fit tan) we have 8 XL, 2 L and 2 M soldiers, or UnderArmor shorts (black or tan) we have 9L and 5M soldiers!
- Powdered Gatorade works real well and quenches thirst pretty good.
- UNI-Ball gel impact retractable pens and/or refills (black only)

Lessons learned:
- Keep things light, this reduces your mailing cost and honestly, most heavy stuff we either have here or don't need.
- The small cans of Pringles don't ship well; by the time they get here they have popped and sprayed contents throughout the rest of your box.
- The books and magazines are now flowing very well thru the chaplain system and we have a well stocked library.
- DVD's and CD's, there is a soldier here who likes it; no matter what you send!

Thanks to all of the great Americans who have sent items for the Iraqi children, a big HOOAH! The small stuffed toys (beenie-babies) are great! We can take out a couple of boxes and have enough toys for a small village. We are gathering school supplies in anticipation of the resumption of school in SEP. Also, soccer balls, volley balls and basketballs (deflated!) are excellent and the older children love these. Anyone with ideas for gifts for young girls, let us know, because they don't play with the boys in most villages.

Thank you for your never-ending efforts,

CPT Hanna

Literally just had our 6th mortar attack in 7 days about 15 min ago.... I apologise for not getting back to you sooner. I promise to send some new pics and an update in the next 48 hours........

CPT H

(update, same day)
this is the medical supply bldg behind my quarters. the black spot on the roof is the new mortar-made skylight.   

If you have the opportunity, there is a website for our chaplain who was critically wounded last month. www.caringbridge.org/mn/timvakoc He is at Walter Reed in pretty rough shape, so anyone's prayers or assistance to the family would be greatly appreciated. Fr Tim was on his way back to our base from holding mass at another base in Mosul, when his HMMWV took the full effect of an IED. Fr Tim was the only casualty in the HMMWV, but it was a very serious head injury.

More on what we are doing later,

CPT H.

We live in the Mosul region of Iraq. We deployed in NOV and should be in country for a year. We live in old Iraqi army barracks; concrete walls and floor. We are working hard to fix windows and doors before summer. Most barracks are open bay, large rooms. Many have A/C.

Your list of potential donor items was what we would appreciate.... minus canned goods and things that are heavy and available in AAFES. All personal hygiene items are welcome, powdered drink mix, hard candy, cookies, calling cards (they never seem to get this far north and ATT wants $.50/min to call home).

I am the Civil-Military Affairs Officer for the BN. We have numerous villages we work with. Like you, we can't ask for donations to help them, but if you have organizations asking you for schools / villages to adopt, send them my way...

IMPORTANT! DO NOT PRINT THIS PAGE!!!

Why? Because this list changes all the time due to unit movements, soldier transfers, or even soldier casualties.
It is also illegal. ALL content on this site is copyright Any Soldier Inc.
DO NOT send any letter or package to a soldier's address unless you check this web site the same day you mail your packages.
Please do not burden the soldiers or the APO/FPO by sending things when the soldiers are gone. If a soldier is not listed here anymore then that soldier's address is expired. Check here often!

Note that some of the units do not have ranks shown on their addresses.
This is done at the unit's request, but ALL of our contacts ARE Servicemembers.

Be sure to change the "ATTN" line to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier if your package is for a female!

DO NOT use this program if you expect or require a reply!
DO NOT expect, or require, a reply from a Soldier!
A supporter said it perfectly, "I mean, these guys and gals have other things on their minds, y’know? Like...oh, STAYING ALIVE?"

(NOTE *): Effective 1 May 2006 this web site added a major layer of security to our contacts' information. This change is necessary to protect our troops and ensure that Any Soldier will continue to operate.
The ONLY changes are that the addresses of our contacts are now hidden and the number of addresses you can get are limited. You may obtain addresses simply by clicking on the link provided and correctly filling out the form, the address will then be emailed to you immediately.

(NOTE **): The number shown is how many times a form was submitted requesting this address. This does NOT necessarily mean that this contact will be helped by that many folks. Rule of thumb is that anything 5 requests or less may in fact be no support at all. No way to tell exactly unless the contact lets you know in his/her update how much support they are getting.

(Note 1.): Note that postage to APO AE and FPO AE (E = Europe) is only to NY where the connection to the APO/FPO (APO = Army Post Office)(FPO = Fleet Post Office) is, or to San Francisco for APO AP and FPO AP (P = Pacific), so you don't pay postage all the way to Iraq/Afghanistan. You might consider picking contacts closer to your mailing area to help cut the cost of mailing. If you live on the East Coast, pick "AE", West Coast, pick "AP", Midwest, well...uh, Thank You for your Support! ;)

New with us (December 2005) you might notice "APO AA" and "FPO AA". This is for units in the Caribbean/South America. Normally. However, due to the nature of some units they may be in Iraq but have an address showing "FPO AA". Mail addresses to "AA" goes out of Miami, Florida.

(Note 2.): Why are military addresses weird? There isn't a street address or city. What gives? Correct, just about everything about the military is weird to civilians. Military units are very mobile, they move around a lot, often they even become part of another unit. The APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office) assign APO and FPO numbers as needed, they are NOT static. An APO/FPO number may be for a large unit, or a location. An APO/FPO number for Baghdad today may be for Frankfurt tomorrow.

(Note 3.): The "Expect to not mail past" date is only an approximate and is one of the least reliable things on this web site. It is because of this that you must check often before you send anything to this unit. There are a few reasons this date is not reliable, to include: it IS the Military, we ARE dealing with the APO/FPO/DPO. The only thing that does not change in the military is that things will change. PLEASE NOTE that a Contact is dropped off our active list 30 days PRIOR to their date leaving to help avoid mail bouncing.

(Note 4.): (Removed for OPSEC reasons)

(Note 5.): The lines, "Contact with approx number of Soldiers:" and "Approx how may Female Soldiers:" have NOTHING to do with unit strength. They are approximately how many other Troops the Contacts believe they can get packages to. This helps you understand that you should not send 100 packages to someone who only deals with 10 Troops.
Don't forget that if your package is for a female Soldier, be sure to change "ATTN: Any Soldier®" to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier".

( Note 6.): This is simply where the unit this contact is from. This is NOT a true picture of the folks in the unit as most all units are made up of folks from all over the United States.) A "Composite Unit" is one made up of other units and is usually temporary for a particular mission.

( Note 7.): Updated APO/FPO/DPO mailing restrictions> courtesy of Oconus.com (gone now) (Note: About Restriction "U2": "U2 - Limited to First Class Letters", Box "R" is for retired personnel that live overseas and are still authorized an APO/FPO box. Their address will be something like Box 3345R. Doubt you will see anything like that in Afghanistan or Iraq or ...)(Please Note: Sometime in August 2013, Oconus.com changed the code on their page and our form doesn't work with them anymore, so a link to their page is the best we can do, sorry.)
