We send care packages to my brother all the time. He LOVES chocolate, but never gets it so we like to send him it. Cookies are a favorite for him too. One time, I sent him a Troll doll in a army outfit. He still keeps it in his pack with him wherever he goes along with a little stuffed frog my mom sent him (He's obsessed with frogs)

Right now he is going through a very rough time. The injury he sustained in Afganistan is affecting him still, even though its been two years or so since it happened. It gives him a lot of pain. Also, his wifes family is very upset and is saying some hurtful things to him because he hasn't been around his daughter and he will more than likely miss the birth of his son. They are telling him that if he really WANTED a family, he would just up and quit...I don't think its fair to expect him to quit. His wife met him after he had been in the Army for 6 years, so she knew what she was getting into (He was in special forces even then). He says that the Army is his lifes work, and that he doesn't envision himself doing anything else. He loves his family, I can tell that from talking to him, but his wifes family is making it hard. Now, they are talking about divorce...and I don't think that he needs the stress of worrying about his wife leaving him on top of his duties.

Pray for him...and others in his situation.
