Pamela....I don't know of anyone who is serving in the military overseas. But I can recall when I was serving my tour of duty in Vietnam....many years ago. Especially around the holidays, when I was away from my family and friends. Just a card or a letter would meant so much to a soldier who is far away from home. You seem like a kind and compassionate lady Pamela.
i agree, Pam...the troops need our support regardless of how we feel about the war or wars in general. Thanks for providing the link, if i come across others i'll add them here.
i have a son in Navy, years ago he told me...'Mom, if anyone wants to pray for me--tell them to pray for everyone involved, especially the decision makers.' He has us and a fiance in Hawaii. But i'm sure he'd encourage people to send shows of support, as many don't have all the support they could use.
