Hollister pastor and Navel Reserve Chaplain David Rodriguez is working with other Chaplains and social workers counseling soldiers before they return home from the war.  Some of these soldiers are stressed and depressed and David says they appreciate a little gift now and then from someone who cares. Besides the items listed below,

David hopes we will send books that the soldiers can read on the way home to perhaps ease the homecoming and remind them about good parenting and relationship skills.

Also... we can keep David and these soldiers (all soldiers) in your prayers.  It is dangerous place they are in and their lives are in danger always.
