19 Nov 2004:

First of all I'd like to thank you for this opportunity to request packages for my battery. Just about everyone who wants a package has received one, so I'll have to drop out of Any Soldier, Inc. Our time here is almost complete, as we'll be heading back to the States in the next couple months. I'm attaching a couple pictures, one's of my platoon and the other is with the packages so many well-wishers have sent us. Thank you for your generosity and God bless you all.

Dear Sir-
All is well here.
We've been incredibly busy doing missions this past month.
We have had some soliders take 2 weeks R and R. I myself got back last week, and SGT Akanni will be leaving next week.

All of our soldiers are well- and we enjoy participating in some of the MWR activities they have scheduled for us.
Wayne Newton and Rob Schneider will be visiting LSA Anaconda to perform a show for the soldiers.

We want to thank you and your organization for all the care packages. Some soldiers are not as fortunate as others when it comes to packages. Some soldiers have not recieved any mail from home, so we pass these packages on to them.

Thanks for all you do,
SPC Gormley

I would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone of you guys out there for the love and support you've shown to us. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined so much patriotism in the form of having to dish out countless packages to my fellow soldiers on a daily basis. The looks on their faces rival that of a child on christmas day, and it's quite inspirational having to witness it everyday. Like I mentioned previously, we are the Headquarters Platoon of a Target Acquisition unit and have become much of a transportation company logging thousands of miles on Iraqi roads. Sometimes we're gone for days at a time, leaving us little time at our home base. A couple weeks ago, we came back to a load of packages, which lifted the morale of my soldiers especially those who rarely get mail. Thanks once again for your love, which is truly appreciated.

I'd like to also use this opportunity to thank Marty Horn and the good folks at www.Anysoldier.us for all their hardwork and dedication to this cause.

We're a national guard unit out of Anoka, Minnesota mobilized in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Because we are a target acquisition company, we've been split into five sections and most of our soldiers are in camps with below average conditions while the rest of us like myself have better than average living conditions- ac, electricity and trailers. I would like to help out the less fortunate soldiers of my unit.

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.)
