Military Matters II: Support the Troops Update

Before the holidays I wrote a post about www.anysoldier.com, which will let you get in touch with servicemen and women in the field, Iraq and Afghanistan. A group one of the kids is in prepared care packages and we mailed them off. So far we've received two notes in reply. One specifically mentioned how much she enjoyed getting pictures the kids had drawn. It doesn't have to be expensive. It doesn't have to be long. Just send someone a note or ask your church or synagogue or neighborhood youth group to consider sending letters or pictures.

On a related matter, you may be aware that it is Girl Scout cookie time. You may not know that if you don't like or can't eat the cookies yourself, you can purchase a box (or more) that will be shipped to soldiers overseas, via Operation Taste of Home.
