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

If anyone wants to send a "care package" here are some suggestions:

Granola bars
Canned nuts (cashews are worth their weight in gold :D )
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! :D
