(From his alternate):
Forgive me for not writing sooner. James Jackson is on leave right now, so he did not get your message. I tried to send pictures last week, however I think the file was too big for your e-mail account because it got kicked back to me.

I want to share with you how appreciative our soldiers are of your packages. We have a ground troop who are often split among platoons all over the Western part of Afghanistan. They are in remote locations, unable to get hygiene and morale items. Your thoughtful letters and packages brighten their days.

I will have James write you once he returns from his leave.

Thank you,

Sincerely,
April Gasparri

   I apologize for my delinquency in getting back to you. I am currently on leave and will be back in Afghanistan in about a week. I can send you a picture as soon as I get back. I also want to thank you for the Any Soldier program. The support we have received from so many great Americans has been remarkable. We have distributed all of the packages and it certainly makes a difference to all the soldiers to know that there is so many people at home that support us. I plan to send Thank You cards to everyone that has donated their time and resources to make life better for us. Once again. Thank You!

Sincerely,
CPT James D. Jackson

   My unit has recently moved to western Afghanistan. We are the first significant coalition force to conduct operations in this area, therefore there is no PX and very limited quality of life amenities. We have mostly eaten MREs for the past 30 days, and hot showers are non-existant. We do have electricity (110), but no microwave and limited laundry service.
   I am assigned to the 25th Infantry Division stationed in Hawaii. Although we miss the beautiful islands we are eager to do are part. We are coming up on the halfway point of our yearlong deployment that started last spring.
   One of my good friends has just taken command of our ground reconnaissance troop and has even fewer resources available. I am writing to you in hopes of receiving some support that I could pass along to my friend and his troopers. Some items that would be appreciated are baby wipes, toothbrushes + paste, hand sanitizer, foot powder, coffee, crackers (chex mix, wheat thins, cheeze-its), BBQ sunflower seeds, Girl Scout Cookies, dried fruit mixes and Cuban cigars (just kidding about the cigars, I was getting carried away with the list).
    I would like to thank everyone in advance that is willing to donate either their valuable time or hard earned money. Thank You.

Sincerely,

CPT James D. Jackson

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.)
