I was wondering if you can get me some information on any groups that sends things to soldiers overseas. I have 4 guys that are under me and I am finding it out for them. Thank you.

SFC Gerry Wilson,
My husband is a life member of VVA -Vietnam Veterans of America. VVA is a service organization to our active duty service men and women, and veterans. Contact one of the local chapters in your area.
Thank you for your service!
I used to volunteer for Adoptaplatoon (when I had more time). They screen potential supporters, and link supporters to deployed troops. Supporters must agree not to share their soldier's/Marine's personal info with anyone (protecting privacy and safety). One can sign up to send weekly letters, or to send weekly letters and a monthly package.
There are plenty of other worthy organizations, but I have most experience with this one. Whatever group you use, just be sure to follow postal and country regulations. Best of luck!
You can also participate in "Coupons for Troops". I send a package of coupons to my contact (military family) overseas and they pick out the coupons they can use and then share them with other families that are a part of their unit. The coupons can even be expired (but not too much so).
My husband's aunt runs a great organization called Supplies 4 GIs. You can contact them via the website. there is a button on the left "send a package to a GI."

I don't have anything to add as far as organizations that help support troops, but I just wanted to say bless you for looking out for those that serve under you. I hope that if my child is someday serving in the armed forces they have someone as compassionate as you looking out for them. Thank you for serving and God bless.
