A BIG hug! And, while he is there send him lots and lots of carepackages. You could also give him a portable playstation, or an i-pod, or a portable dvd player.. My husband just got back from Iraq, and he loved having that stuff! They get bored over there a lot, while they are on their down time. Give you're brother my best.

Simple things like stationery and stamps with envelopes are useful and appreciated items. Maybe something else special like a picture of the two of you. Reminders of good friends and family can help soldiers through homesickness which will inevitably come from being in a stressful situation far from home.

A portable dvd player and collection of movies; commit to take care of something he needs to leave behind. ie. a car payment, his dog, if he has family (children) perhaps you could regularly send him short video's via the internet so he can see them on a regular basis. Don't participate in hateful conversations about our military in strange countries, I doubt that you would; I just find it so disrespectful.

Something durable, something that reminds them that they are doing a great job over there, or something that would remind them of home/you.

first and foremost...your support! then comes something that can help pass time...a game, a movie, puzzle books, pictures, stuff he can use...soap, shampoo, baby wipes, toothpaste...etc...

ask him what he would like, ask another family member that has served in the military what they would have like to have with them.
