One of our readers is the author of http://militarycarepackages.blogspot.com. I took a visit to his site and thought I would share the following post with you here. Check out his blog for links to other organizations that support our troops as well.
Soldiers' Angels - www.soldiersangels.org
[email protected] (address your email to Don)
The mission of Soldiers’ Angels is to facilitate the “adoption” of a U.S. Soldier. You get your own soldier, they get an “angel”. We ask that you write to your soldier at least once a week and send a care package at least once a month. You can adopt one soldier or a whole group. Please visit our website to see all of our special projects, some of which are: Wounded Soldiers Project (you can write the wounded), Operation Top Knot (reach out to families who had babies born while their soldier is deployed), Family Outreach Team (support for family members who have a soldier deployed), and the Letter Writing Team (where you can specify how many soldiers’ addresses you want to receive, on which days, so you can write to them). Soldiers’ Angels will be receiving the names of 3,000 newly deployed soldiers this week (we got 9,000 during the third deploy) and we need angels!! This is very gratifying work! Please join today to adopt a U.S. Soldier!
