Soldier's Angel
Just thought that you might like to hear about a small way to say a big thank you to the men and women who serve overseas (what ever your thoughts are about our 'military involvements').
I joined a group called Soldier's Angels and got the name of a soldier currently serving in a FOB, Forward Operating Base (I think) in Afghanistan.
I write a letter as though he were already a friend and send some goodies like trail mix, jerky,cards etc. They have a list of things that soldier's might enjoy that come from home. I'd like to think that this young man and the guys he serves with know that someone from home other than their family is taking the time to talk with and thank them for their service.
It costs me little in time or money and I hope means a lot to the soldiers who receive the letters and packages. Hope you'll consider it...........I may be writing to one of your son's.
