(I realized I mentioned some of this as part of a broader subject about care packages. However, for us, decent razors actually turn out to be the most important and, over the course of the tour, most expensive to pay for part of care packages.)


Operation Razor:

Since we have been away in the past few months, you back home have showed your support for soldiers of the 875th Engineer battalion by donating large amounts of material and financial contributions to our support group, exceeding all expectations. Not only where we able to send the soldiers of our unit back home to their families free of charge, but we were able to help send home our fellow soldiers attached to us from Vermont and Indiana. We are blessed to have such support on the home front. That is why I believe that you can aid us again.
As many of us here have noticed, one of the hardest things to get at our PXs is toiletries, particularly soap (would someone bring some "ivory" for me?), mouthwash, shaving cream, and particularly decent razor blades to shave. While the cheap "bic" style razors are fairly common, Gillette Mach 3 and Schick Quattro razors are impossible to find, despite the PXs rationing all the said items to only 2 of each per customer. Even when they do have them, they pretty much are worth their weight in gold.
That's why we need your help in sending care packages to the soldiers of the 875th. Our community has supported us before, so we know we can count on you again.

Sincerely,
Specialist Hunter Shumard
Armorer/ Supply Clerk
Charlie Company
875th Engineer Battalion

NOTE: This is for the Charlie company (Paragould) unit. This does not include the other company units.

send all packages to:

Specialist Hunter Shumard
C Co., 875th EN BN
APO, AE 09391
