The soldiers that have requested them pass them out on patrols. There is a search feature, type in “beanie babies” or “toys.” Get a flat rate box from the post office for free, pack it full, I think it costs 7.70 to ship to Iraq/Afghanistan. You can email me if you have any questions about the operation or how to ship.

Dropping them on our enemies. I like that! I suppose employing Michael Jackson’s Invincible album in the same way would be a violation of Geneva protocols.

If there are any cat Beanies you could send them to me to add to my collection. ::hangs head in shame::

Nothing shameful about that. They are cute little toys. The only shameful thing was the “tulipmania”-like market that went on in “collectable” Beanies.
Okay…I talked to the in-laws and they’re stoked on the “send 'em to the soldiers” idea. We’re going to make a party of it! Rock ‘n’ roll, adult beverages, everyone on my living room floor packing boxes (we’re guessing 15 packages), complete with notes and treats for the G.I.s. I think we may have transformed “Girl’s Night Out” from an evening of drunken debauchery to one of charitable productivity! Thanks for the tips and links!
