I think this is a great idea but I see too many problems with the logistics for it to work. If you could identify a pipe smoker I think it would be easy to send shredded leaf to him/her but cigarettes and cigars are a different story. You are now talking about rolling cigars or stuffing tubes. I would certainly make several donations of pipe tobacco. I also think that this should not be an officially sanctioned FTT action. Don has to be careful to only sell "whole leaf". Giving away a finished producted with FTT sanctions would be looked upon by Big Brother as a taxable transaction.
If you know of some service memebers in need I think quite a few of us would contribute something but it would probably have to be "run" by you, as a private individual.

A primary feature of military mail systems is that normally they are subsidized to ensure that military mail posted between duty stations abroad and the home country (or vice versa) does not cost the sender any more than normal domestic mail traffic. In some cases, military personnel in a combat zone may post letters and/or packages to the home country for free, while in others, senders located in a specific overseas area may send military mail to another military recipient, also located in the same overseas area, without charge.
Yes, we can start a campaign to send troops goods, but in my humble opinion, the guys who have served and have been injured might be better recipients of donated goods.
I've been contemplating (for quite a while) donating a percentage of proceeds to FallenWarriors.org. Id love to be doing the volume to permit making a regular donation.

CellPhonesforSoldiers is another option for those with old cell phones that they are not using.
