Father Marc, a young priest from St. Mary's Parish in Chelmsford, was sent to Iraq this past January to serve as chaplain for a Marine batallion. He's requesting care packages for his soldiers. The following items would be appreciated: shampoo, body wash, shaving cream, Mach 3 razors and blades, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant, foot powder, sunscreen, insect repellant, new-ish DVDs, magazines, eye-glass cleaner, eye drops, Tic-Tac mints, Slim Jims, Pringle potato chips. Religious cards and medals also welcome.

If you can help, please send a care package to:

Lt. Marc J. Bishop, Chaplain
1st BN 25th MAR H&S CO.
Unit 72195
FPO AE 09509-2195

You have to complete a customs declaration form. If you've been wanting to support the troops, here's a very direct way. Can't send bacon, girly mags or cash. Thanks!
