Skateboards wheels for a soldier in Iraq

So...I'm cleaning off my dining room table and I find this letter from a SGT Willeford stationed in Iraq. He sent this letter two months ago. Long story short...he wants a skateboard and a care package...he's a cool guy and we've corresponded a couple of times. Anyway, he's over there and it sucks, and to keep his morale up I'm going to send him the black Deckcrafters deck, some tracker trucks....so all I need is the wheels. I have that stuff listed on craigslist and I figured...WTF...I might as well give it to the soldier. I do have extra wheels that I could throw on the board... but I'm still riding them, and I just gave my old Conspiracy 99s to Ben. SO, I need some wheels. I figure a 99 to 97 about a 58 would be cool. So IF you have old wheels like that lying around please give them to me.

Lastly, I'm going to get together a care package for him and the guys in his unit, and if anyone else wants to chip in as well that's cool.

If you have any of the following items at your home, or at the Target, or Wal-Mart give them to me. Hard candy (they like to pass it out to the kids), stickers (for their footlockers), gum, healthy snacks, posters, sun glasses, toothbrushes, small battery operated alarm clock, finger nail clippers, cards, pens, socks.

Some of this stuff we already have hanging around the house. So if you can chip in that's great. AND I'M NOT TALKING USED SOCKS....be real. Oh...and I still need those wheels.
