Katy found a site, 4ArmedForces.com, that sells a few Stryker-related items that might be of interest. Here's the page with the Stryker gear.
Comments For "Stryker Gear":
Neat items for our troops that we support. I wonder if the Stryker cups would be a good ideal to send to our troops? Wish they were darker in colors instead of white? Might be to bright for safety reason.
The guy that runs this site is creating more Stryker gear. Probably hats and t-shirts. He said they are working on it!! I did get one of the decals. It looks really cool on my winshield (outer stick)
I'm in an Engineer batallion that just served 11 months in Iraq and we're getting ready to come home in March - I've got a boyfriend in C 1/23. It scares me every day knowing that he is here because I know the danger and what he is going through. I just want to say that no matter what you may send to us, we always appreciate it. No matter if we don't have a use for it, someone else may need it. Whatever you like, we probably like too. As far as the coffee mugs, they'll love them. I bought one for myself and my boyfriend. When July and August roll around, make sure your loved ones have Cup-A-Soup. (Ya know, the instant soup that is bought in the styrofaom containers...) Even if they are not fortunate enough to have microwaves, remember, it gets to be 150 degrees outside. I learned that if you put water in the cup and let it sit outside for ten to fifteen minutes, VOILA! Hot soup! Soup always tastes good out here. (Chow hall food is horrible, and the infantry boys in some places are still eating MRE's and T-Rat's.) So remember, these are your loved ones. If they can't use what you send, we always take care of our battle buddies! Thanks for reading this.

Janie,
You may be able to e-mail them and ask if they could do the cups in a darker color. I do not see why the would not be able to.

Stryker Mom,
We are on the same wave length, I emailed them after I posted the message. Let you know if I hear. Thanks from another stryker mom.
