10 Jan 2005:
I want to thank you so much for everything that anysoldier has done. I will personally pass this on to the unit who replaces us and highly recommend that they sign up before they get here. We are in the process of getting ready for moving around and getting ready for heading back to the most amazing country in the world, The United States of America. It would be best if I were taken off of the web site mailing list so I don’t get packages when I’m back in the states that someone over here could have used. I still plan on taking some vacation days to write thank you’s to everyone who sent packages, I saved all the packing slips. I know the Marines have written their own thank you letters, but I want them to hear from a commander’s point of view what it meant to my men. We still don’t have internet access, but if there is a place to post thank you notes on there I’d really love to do that as well. Thanks again for everything you’ve done, I know we’re over here getting shot at and everything but we signed up for it, a lot of Americans sent packages out of no obligation, just because they are amazing people, much like yourself. Take care and God Bless. Capt. Garnett

I have been selected for Major and as a result they have pulled me up to a staff job. If you could change the address for our Marines point of contact to: 1st Lt Shon Belcher Same address as me, Capt Garnett I'd really appreciate it. We have been getting a lot of Christmas packages and the men are really shocked at the amazing response, thank you so much!!! I found out that our battalion mail clerk was getting no packages so I've started giving him packages each mail drop. I can't imagine how depressing it must have been delivering all of those packages and then not getting one for yourself. So, thanks again. It actually snowed here in Western Iraq last night. It’s a lot colder than we expected. I can't access the web site, if there is any way we could add children's shoes to the list I think it would mean a lot for the Iraqi villages we visit. We are definitely on the fence of winning some hearts and minds in some areas, very delicate. Thanks again for everything, it has truly been amazing, my men fight harder just knowing what a great country we are a part of. The people who have sent us packages are true heroes in their own way. Very respectfully,
Capt. Garnett (Note: I emailed the Major that the LT needs to appply, which I hope he does soon.)

I first want to express my complete amazement at this program, my men love it when the packages come in. We are in a remote part of the country way out in Western Iraq, not very many amenities. Our internet has been down for the majority of the time we've been here, and I'm gone on missions 75% of the time, so between the two factors I have been unable to update.
One of my Marine's mother saw that I was being dropped so the next time she talked to her son she told him to let me know. She is a big supporter of any soldier. I contacted my wife to go into my yahoo account, she forwarded your e-mail address to me, so now I can contact you on a regular basis. I apologize for not updating you, I should have written down your e-mail address and mailing address prior leaving CONUS. Our operational tempo here is pretty crazy but I will write when I can, again what you are doing is beyond description, my men now have things that make the little down time they have better, and more importantly the hygiene products that are hard to get. I am saving every address from every package so that when I get home I can personally thank each person who has sent us something. Very respectfully,
Capt. T.H. Garnett

HI There,
I am Capt Garnett's wife, Andrea. He informed me that he is unable to access this internet account due to his location and limited access to the internet.
He also let me know has been receiving your packages. He disperses all the goodies to the some 100 men he has in his command. They are all very appreciative of your support.
My apologies for not responding sooner. My husband has been on frequent missions in the past two months and I was unaware of the problem.
Thanks again,
Andrea Garnett

I talked to my son, SSgt. Bill Denman, today. He is stationed at the same place as Capt. Garnett, and is aware that Capt. Garnett is a contact for anysoldier.com. They do not have internet access at this time. I noticed just yesterday that you had notified him that he needed to respond or be removed. I told Bill about the message and he said he would tell Capt. Garnett. Although, if they can't get on the internet, he can't respond. Anyway, they are receiving packages through anysoldier.com and are very appreciative. I don't know if this will help, but thought I'd let you know they are still there and need continued support.
Sincerely
Linda (Kilgore, Tx.)

We are roughing it in a new firm base without running water and only generator electricity.
My men could really use hygeine products, books, magazines, sunglasses, goggles, and any snack foods. We will be eating MRE's most of the time and anything usually is a nice change to that. We will be living in tents and most of the men have their own CD players. We do have one DVD player that we play movies on so we appreciate any old DVD's - comedies and action are best. Thank you for any support you give, even just a note to my single men would be a great thing!!!!
Semper Fidelis,
Captain Garnett

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 Marine
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 Marine!
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.)
