Excellent. I knew you could get me pointed in the right direction. So:
DVDs. I've been hustling family and friends for used discs, and have about 100. Everything from new movies to old westerns. And the full set of Monty Python's Flying Circus discs. Wipes. Should these be the individual foil wraps, or the big plastic resealable containers, or a mix? Just personal hygene wipes and not cleaning wipes, right? Coffee. Instant coffee? Cans of Maxwell house? Should I throw in a bag of good stuff? Games. I'll hustle up some older games (Xbox, Playstation). I've got about 30 that can go right now. Are FPS games acceptable, or do they have enough of that already? Books. I'll thrown in some paperbacks. Sci-fi/fantasy and westerns. And whatever dups I have of some smarter books (Federalist Papers, Celestine Prophesy, Holy Blood and Holy Grail, The Tipping Point, etc) and maybe a couple books on drawing anime (talk about a time killer). Finally, although I didn't mention it, I am also including some children's books: >AndÂ… >Children's books. >This last item may seem like a strange thing to send into a theater of war, but what > happens is the soldiers read a book aloud on camera.

Thanks for the advice.
