Magazines To Our Soldiers

[Tyme2fish]

How can I send magazines to our troops? Instead of just throwing away Boating world,Boating Life, ESPN,etc, what address can I use to send these mags to our troops overseas?

You have a few options for that nice gesture.

You can get in contact with the local National Guard or Reserve Unit and ask for the Operations or Unit Coordinator. You could send the magazines to a specific unit in a box and send it media or flat rate (you can ship alot that way).

You can ship them to a VA Hosp stateside or even to a military medical facility to the hospital librarian.

Before I retired when I was acitve duty that was the best place to dispose of magazines... leave them in waiting rooms at the hospitals. Soldiers even find Northern tool, cabelas, red head catalogs good to browse. Since I am a VA patient ..... I drag along my magazines there.

Happy Thanksgiving.
