I thought you might like some pictures of what we've been doing here in Tikrit. Attached are two pictures of one of our doctors (a pediatrician in real life who volunteered to come here and take care of soldiers) providing care to some local kids, plus a picture of one of my platoon leaders meeting with a family from a nearby village. Please let everyone know that the soldiers of Echo Company are doing great things, and we sincerely appreciate the support we receive from the great Americans who visit your website!

Very Respectfully,
Ken Koyle

Sorry for not keeping in touch, it's been a busy time here. I'm getting ready to change command during the first week of November, and there are a lot of loose ends to tie up first. You were on my list of things to take care of, but I wanted to talk to the inbound commander first to make sure it's okay with him for me to give you his contact information. He enthusiastically agreed, so here it is:

Again, I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to you for all the work you put into your website, and of course I need to thank everyone who has sent letters and packages over the past eight months. My soldiers and I have really enjoyed them all, it's been a huge boost for morale. I hope the generous support will continue as CPT So takes over the company and finishes out the deployment. You have truly made a difference in the lives of soldiers at war.

With Gratitude and Respect,

You have done great things for my company, the effort you put into your website has resulted in a huge morale boost out here. We're still getting boxes every week, and the soldiers love it.
Again, we appreciate everything you have done for us, and we especially appreciate your support for our efforts over here.

Very Respectfully,

We are pretty busy, but the response from your website has been great. We've been getting a couple of boxes every week, mostly things for the school we sponsor. The Iraqi schools break for summer just like in the States, so right now those school supplies are just stacking up. I don't want to tell people not to send things, but maybe you could mention that we won't need anymore school supplies until September.

We've been getting tons of Beanie Babies. I send them out with the soldiers who go on patrol, so they can give them to the Iraqi kids they meet along the way. Believe it or not, a lot of the soldiers like to keep a few of the Beanies themselves. They remind us all of our kids back home. Everyone with little kids knows all the Beanies, and when we get one in the mail that looks just like the one someone's daughter carries everywhere, it kind of touches the heart. It's a silly little thing that you wouldn't expect, but it happens with almost every box. We have also received a few DVDs, some books and magazines, and lots of treats. All of these things really raise morale and help us get through the days.

Again, the response has been great. I'm going to send you a patch, I just haven't had a chance to get a new one to sew on my uniform yet. You probably already have a Big Red One patch, which is what we wear, but I'll send you one anyway, as soon as I can.

Again, thanks for all you do to support us in this effort. It really helps a lot.

Very Respectfully,
CPT Kenneth M. Koyle

I am the commander of the Division's Main Support Medical Company. We sponsor an Iraqi primary school here in Tikrit, with about 50 students, both male and female, age 6 to about 14. I would be happy to take donations for the kids and deliver them to the school.

We live in buildings that used to belong to the Iraqi Air Force. We have generators that supply 220-volt power only. The buildings are in pretty sorry shape, but we're fixing them up and making life here better all the time.

Things we would appreciate receiving: We have a good dining facility here, and we eat pretty well. But we can never get enough Gatorade or sports drinks, which really help to prevent heat injuries and dehydration.
We always enjoy morale items, like books and magazines (all types). Since we're trying to improve our living conditions, any kind of hand tools would also be well-received. We recently obtained a TV and DVD player for the company morale room that we built, so if anyone has old DVDs that they no longer watch, they might find new life here. For the kids in our adopted school, we accept all kinds of school supplies - book bags, pencils, writing tablets, chalk and erasers, etc. The teachers could also use standard teaching supplies, like red pens, calculators, highlighters and markers, etc. They are also in need of shoes and clothing, as long as the clothing is conservative. Girls here don't wear jeans, short skirts, or sleeveless shirts, and no one wears shorts, but everything else is pretty much
acceptable.

Thank you for the service you provide, and for your support of our troops!

Very Respectfully,
CPT Kenneth M. Koyle

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.)
