As it seems Canada is going to be in Afganistan for the long haul, I'd like to send letters/packages of supposrt. How/where can I do this?

Texas Boy...maybe you better check how many US Soldiers have been to Afganistan lately! Or how many have been killed there. It's Canada's game there now, and our soldiers are dying for it. Get informed!

Morale by Mail!
Canadian sailors, soldiers and air force personnel deployed on operations need all the seasonal cheer they can get, and messages, postcards and letters from home are very important to their morale.
Post cards, letters, and parcels containing bundled letters, addressed to “Any CF Member” will be accepted
Individuals, schools and organizations often conduct letter writing campaigns to our deployed personnel. Such groups prefer to bundle the letters (or cards) in a parcel as a cost saving measure. These parcels are now acceptable.
Note that parcels cannot contain any other enclosures. If enclosures other than letters or postcards are detected, the item will be returned to sender.
This restriction does not apply to friends and family members, who can send parcels to individual CF members overseas by following guidelines available at local CF Base Postal Sections, Military Family Resource Centres, or through the Canadian Forces Personnel Support Agency .
When sending letters and parcels include the addressee's rank, name and unit in the address if you know it.
Include your return address as well.
Here are the addresses for the current CF deployments .

AWESOME! Glad to hear that you are wanting to support Soldiers....I have in the past supported British ones. My DH said that these Soldiers from other Countries really appreciate the letters and such...
BTW...I just tried the Link and it is now working....0645 German time on the 25th September 2006.

I tried the website given and unfortunately (for me anyway) it does not work.
