How You Can Support Our Troops This Holiday Season!!

[vixen777]

Cards, Letters, Gifts, and Care Packages
The U.S. Postal Service is no longer accepting "Any Service Member" or "Any Wounded Service Member" letters or packages. Mail to "Any Service Member" that is deposited into a collection box will not be delivered. Instead of sending an "Any Wounded Soldier" letter or package to Walter Reed, please consider making a donation to one of the following charitable organizations that will help send gifts, cards, and care packages to our troops

Adopt a Platoon - Support the troops through gifts and sponsored mail.

Any Soldier - Sponsor care packages to servicemembers in Iraq.

Army and Air Force Exchange Services - Purchase gift certificates for active and hospitalized servicemembers.

Blue Star Mothers - Organizes postcards to troops and care packages, and is currently petitioning Congress for reduced air fares for servicemembers.

Books for Soldiers/Pen Pals - Donate books, movies, and more.

Cell Phones for Soldiers - Donate your old cell phones, which pay for calling cards for our troops.

Operation USO Care Package - Sponsor a care package for $25.
Treats for Troops - Purchase care packages for Soldiers.

That sucks! I don't have a cell phone, but would be pissed if I couldn't share those extra minutes like that

I have tons of roll over mins too. maybe AT&T will rethink this.

I do know most bases overseas where soldiers are stationed have places
where soldiers can go to call home for free
