Do you know how much postage I would need to send a letter? Is it the same as a regular U.S. letter?

No Garrett international mail for a card or regular mail is normaly 80c. Thats what I pay to send stuff back to SA. Have A look here it may help in calculating postage.

If anyone wants to send a "care package" here are some suggestions:
Granola bars
Canned nuts (cashews are worth their weight in gold

)
Baby wipes
Chewing gum
Chap stick
Life savers/mints
Sun screen
Remember to send only non-perishable items. Small light items are easier to pack and carry for our servicemen! Lets show our support!
