Christmas Stocking Ideas for GIs in Far East
Mrs Betty Kosinski collects letters from her sons in Viet Nam and Okinawa detailing preferred Christmas gifts. Suggestions include Kool-Aid and other sugary drinks, pet treats, hard candy, homemade cookies, shaving mirrors, and heavy wool socks. Cigarettes offered via a Richmond company shipper for ten cents a pack, with a 100-pack carton at $10.61, must be mailed in time. Send cookies wrapped in waxed paper and packed with popcorn to reach overseas bases in good condition.
