Soldiers receive care packages while deployed to Afghanistan

Being away from home for a year can be rough, not to mention in the austere conditions of the middle east. One way to help curb homesickness is to receive a care package. Many times groups send packages to the unit chaplain and let them deliver the much needed supplies. these little treasures from home help keep our troops cared for while they are far from home.
