Federal authorities discontinued several care package programs due to heightened security measures and concerns of possible terrorist attacks. The restrictions are due to Defense Department standards, and packages and mail sent to "any service member" will probably be returned. Groups planning to send multiple packages to one service member for disbursement throughout the entire troop are being discouraged by DOD officials from doing this for the cited security reasons. Federal officials are asking only family members or close friends to send care packages and mail to troops. Support Groups for Troops: Operation Uplink: http://www.operationuplink.org/ -- Sends prepaid phone calling cards to troops. USO Cares: http://www.usocares.org -- Sends DOD pre-approved care packages to troops. Operation Dear Abby: http://www.OperationDearAbby.net -- Send an email message to the troops.
