Support For Our Troops

On July 4th 2007, I decided to take it upon myself to support our soldiers/troops overseas. I do not know of any current family or friends serving overseas, so I happened across a website called www.anysoldier.com and I was pretty impressed with their site! At first I "adopted" just a couple of soldiers to write and send care packages, but then my list grew....and now I think I have about 8 soldiers I am corresponding with. I know it is not much what I am doing to send them letters/cards/ and small packages of hygiene products or snacks. I wanted to send them a message that they are not forgotten, and that they are cared for and loved. I enjoy visiting the webpage I initially found names from because the soldiers post interesting pictures and stories about their accomodations and a little about what they are involved in. I wrote a story to the editor of the Dallas Morning news about my support of the troops, and it was published in the Metro section of Community Opinions on Thursday 7/26/2007. I was not sure that the letters would be recieved in good manner, however I was relieved to recieve correspondence back from the soldiers confirming they recieved my mail! I have posted on picture on here of one of the soldiers (Yenny Guisto) and some of her team that I am corresponding with. One thing that I would love to do sometime is to go to DFW airport and greet the soldiers when they arrive off the plane trip....I think that would send chills up my spine seeing that they are safe and know they have been serving our great country and protecting me and the US.
