Good Afternoon,

Our deployment here is starting to wind down, and it appears that we will be leaving Kosovo sooner then expected. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your website as we truly enjoyed being on the receiving end of such generosity shown to us by people back home.

At this time, I want to give you my thanks and ask that you remove my name off of the list as a contact. I will be sure to let my replacements know about your website so that they too can benefit from the services you have provided.

Once again, thank you.

I just wanted you to make a correction to my address, removing the word Kosovo so that it states.

[shown above]

I've been having a lot notes lately to tell me to remove the word 'Kosovo' as the package is coming through an APO address, not to Kosovo.

Thanks!

Sponsor (which would be me) - "Hey, you wanna any soldier letter?"

Any Soldier - "Sure . . . no wait, I have to return that don't I? I'm kind of busy and all, I don't know. . ."

Me - "No you don't! They understand that we are deployed soldiers, they just want to give us a word of encouragement, you don't have to return their letter unless you really want to!"

Any Soldier - "Oh, ok. . ."

Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to write a letter to our soldiers here in Kosovo. I can't make any promise of them returning the letters (because soldiers can be very busy or just plain lazy) but we do appreciate them just the same. We also like care packages, that really brightens our day! Ready to eat food stuff is probably among the best thing you can give us.

Toys are good too.

Thanks for showing us you care. We still got another seven months in country and we could use all the love and support we can get! *homesickness is starting to seep in, slowly but surely!*

Thanks to everyone who had it in their hearts to spoil a soldier here in the Balkans. We've really appreciated everything you have done for us already.

Letters are still very popular. Though I can't always guarantee that they will get returned, we will do our best to write back to you. We also find Calling Cards, snacks and goodies, books, movies and music to be very popular as well. Whatever you have in your heart to send to us.

Thank you!

Thank you to those who have taken the time out of your busy day to write a simple letter to a soldier currently deployed in the Balkans. We are busy taking care of the health and providing medical support to troops located in South Eastern Kosovo from several different nationalities including Poland, Norway, Greece, Lithuania, Sweden, Germany, Ukraine and of course our own American Soldiers, as well as providing support to the nationals in functions such as Medcaps where we are able to go out into the community and provide medical support to people who are limited in their medical care. Our troops are often times busy performing their jobs and as we have medical professionals from various parts of the US, mostly Reservists from the Southern US but also including California, Washington State and the Dakotas. Our little task force is diverse, we have a wide variety of races and ethnic groups represented, and different soldiers require different things.

Our troops live in South East Asia (SEA)Huts and generally fit four to a room. Most soldiers in the Task Force are confined to base and have limited opportunities to explore 'outside the wire', working a wide variety of hours to support our Clinic. Without the drama incurring in other parts of the world, such as Iraq or Afghanistan, Kosovo hasn't been getting the press higher visibility war zones are receiving, however Kosovo is still considered a hostile area. We are the first rotation to be stationed here for a year.

Many soldiers are not receiving a lot of mail from home. Things that are sought after are Phone Cards, Books, and anything to be able to pass the time. One of the simplest things that you can do is write a letter telling a soldier how you appreciate what they are doing as well as tell them a little bit about yourself and things that are going on in your life; basically write to them like you would an old friend. Personal thoughts such as these are most appreciated by the troops. If you want to put together a small care package with a variety of items such as anything that rots your teeth (job security for our dental clinic!), Beef jerky (always a fave), books and magazines, and a small personal note, this would make any soldier's day. Anything you think somebody deployed to a very dusty and dry area might want.   

So far I have received several items that I have been able to disperse to the troops and it has greatly improved their morale and attitude while we have been stationed here. You have no idea how much it brightens their day. And it has been a great joy for myself to be able to be a sponsor and do my small part to make another soldier's day a little better.

Thank You,
SGT Kami Erickson

Hello, I'm representing a Medical Brigade in Kosovo. Though our living conditions aren't as severe as other troops serving in more dangerous areas, there are still troops here serving their time and in a lot of ways our contributions go unnoticed, as many people forget that we still have troops in the Balkans.

The brigade consists of reservists from primarily the south, though we have troops from all over the country, including washington state and california. Items such as recent newspapers and letters from people who wish to support us in our efforts is appreciated. And I know they don't like us to say it, but anything else you wish to contribute that you think the troops might enjoy. Books and phone cards are usually popular as well.

Thank you for your support of the troops.

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.)
