Our association has
decided to take on a very important project beginning this Holiday
Season and continuing on indefinitely. It is known as ADOPT- A- U.S.-
SOLDIER. Simply stated it is a volunteer-based program that connects
supportive Americans with deployed soldiers. It offers a channel to
communicate encouragement and express gratitude to the brave men and
women serving our nation.
Service men and women
tell us there is nothing like receiving something in the mail from home.
Therefore, it is very important for each of them to know we care and
support them. Your letters and care packages can do just that.
So what goes into a
care package? It does not have to be expensive; you can put them
together on your own— books, playing cards, cookies, bagged snacks,
small games, etc. Remember: The soldier’s first priority is war and
not to be a pen-pal. They will respond if and when they are able. You
can be sure they are receiving what you send, but many do not have free
time or any days off for extended periods of time.
Please, won’t you
join in and help? A letter speaks loudly to the soldier, as well as
those e-mails and items you might send. ADOPT- A- U.S.- SOLDIER is one
of the most important projects we can do to bring home a healthy hero.
As with all of our
brave men and women in the United States Armed Forces, our thoughts and
prayers are with them as they continue serving our country.
MAY GOD BLESS OUR
TROOPS.
To those who laughed,
To those who cried,
To those who fought,
To those who tried,
To those who gave their very lives...
We remember.
