A link I forgot to mention

If you have some time to send care packages to our troops on a monthly basis and write letters, nothing depressing, on a weekly basis, then visit www.soldiersangels.org. You fill out a short form, someone emails you back with some info on an individual soldier and go on from there.
One point this group makes is not to expect your soldier to be able to write back. There are some items you're encouraged NOT to send ever or at certain times of the year, but I signed up in July and have received some letters from my soldier. I will tell you that the soldiers who sign up could definitely use items from back home because some of the places they're stationed simply don't get much without our help. And they are extremely grateful. Making a new friend is the best reason to get involved!
