I just received an email from Jake. He is unable to post to this blog for the reasons he explained earlier.
He has asked me to pass this on to all who have asked how they can help.
On behalf of Jake's Mom and me, thank you for the support you have given all of us.Dad- could you put up on the blog that we could use- jerky, sunflower seeds, gum, drink mixes, AAA/AA batteries, old books/magazines, protein powder packets (individual packets), copenhagen (not for me obviously), crossword/word game books, boot socks.

Jake's shipping address is:
Cpl. Wood, J.
2/7 H & S Co., SSP
Unit 41545
FPO AE 96426-1545
The post office has nice, flat-rate boxes. For $10.95 you may send whatever you can fit in it. There is a special paper you need to fill out listing the contents and value.
Jake appreciates anything you send.
Thank you,
Chris
Would handknit socks be appropriate? If so, can you give me his shoe size? Specific colors?
Hi Liz,
I am not sure but hand knit socks might not fare well in 120 Degree sand. Jake did mention that at night, a tan or dark colored knit watch cap would be much appreciated.
"a tan or dark colored knit watch cap "
I can do that! Thanks.
I just sent him last week a bunch of stuff-food, magazines etc including an NCAA Championship Hockey Banner for Wisconsin. I know that doesn't work in the field, but wherever he calls home behind the wire should be decorated with Big Red to the max.
Just an old infantry squad leader from Janesville a long time ago who enjoys Jake's life. Been shipping stuff to a lot of troops through a site called AnySoldier.com
