I have just added AnySoldier.com to the blogroll. I also have Books For Soldiers. These are both great places to get addresses and needs for care packages for our brave men and women.
The messages are powerful. Some are friendly, some spell and write better than others -- but they are all poignant and a brief read-through will fill you with pride. I don't have a favorite, but here's one to give you a flavor:
24 Dec 2004:I am Company Commander from Shreveport, LA. I have about 100 soldiers in my command. I am submitting this request for them. So I can share the generosity from back home that so many people feel for us over here. This is truly for them.
I myself understand how you feel back home. Most people I talk to support our mission 1000% and that is great. By mail, even a letter, is something tangible that these soldiers can hold.
Alot of them are young boys that have just started that journey of life and what ever I can do to make this experence better, I will do. Thank you for all you do, because with out you back home, with your support and love, this vital mission fails.CPT Harry Wilson
