How Soldier Tributes Care Packages work:

Soldier Tributes has partnered with Amazon.com to bring care packages to our soldiers.
Before visitors to a Tribute can send a soldier Care Packages, the manager of the Tribute must create a Wish List for the soldier.
After the Wish List is created, visitors will be able to choose from thousands of items to send to the soldier (not just items on the Wish List).
The Wish List is simply required so Amazon knows where to send the care-packages. The soliders APO or FPO address is saved with the Wish List. Amazon ships to APO addresses and will keep your soldier's address private.
