An anniversary is a sad time to endure a deployment. But at least you can console yourself on Ben & Jerry’s fro yo with Annie Hall. This is likely a time that your spouse feels quite lonely. So, send him an anniversary care package to remind him how much you love and appreciate him. To make it extra special, gift wrap your items in special wedding or anniversary wrap to set this package apart from the rest.
