One thing that many people take for granted, but I find it sometimes as a must is hand sanitizer.
I touch many hands throughout my day. People with colds. People with stomach viruses. People with just everyday germs. There are a limited number of latrine trailers and even more limited amounts of sinks with paper towels.
This is were hand sanitizers come into play. Because of my job, I am always walking around. I see more people than the average Soldier, so I keep a small bottle in my front pocket, so I always have clean hands. Some Soldiers keep a bottle on their desk–it simply depends on their job.
I encourage you to help your Soldier out, send him/her something that they may never think of asking for–a bottle of hand sanitizer. It works and it may keep them a little more healthy.

If a family wanted to send you some hand sanitizer, or other things, where might they send it?
Thank you for the offer…the best place, I have found to send care packages to Soldiers is through anysoldier.com I am listed there as well as many Soldiers downrange. I have been very happy at the support these people have provided. There are always Soldiers going downrange, so you can get the names of Soldiers there.
