THE THIRD ANNUAL
OUR GOAL IS TO SEND A LITTLE HOME AS A WAY OF SAYING “THANK YOU” TO A RANDOM SOLDIER.
HERE IS HOW OPERATION RUCKSACK WORKS:
1) PURCHASE A RUCKSACK.
These are common, personal backpacks used by military personnel with optional colors in green, tan and black and typically cost around $20 on ebay.com or amazon.com.
2) FILL THEM WITH THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIES.

1 Shaving cream, 10 oz
1 Bars of soap, any brand
4 Pairs of socks (size 6-12)
2 Boxes water flavor packets
1 Hand-written letter
1 Tube of toothpaste, 5 to 7 oz
2 Tubes of lip balm
1 Gilette Fusion Razor
