Adopt A Platoon
Please consider helping out.
There are dozens of such organizations, so pick any one you like. I chose Adopt-a-Platoon about a year ago.
The Troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Bosnia need your support.
No you don't actually have to adopt a whole platoon. They have several levels of support that you can choose from. You can, if you wish, support an entire platoon of about forty people. Or you can choose a simple pen-pal program with one soldier. You can even just make a one-time donation.
I do the "pen-pal" level, and evey week I send "my soldier" a letter. Every other month or so I send a care package of goodies.
I say these things not to make you think good of me, for my efforts are nothing compared to actually being there, but to encourage you to do something also.
Of course, maybe you already are actively supporting the troops. In which case I salute you.
So please take a moment to check out Adopt-a-Platoon or some such similar organization. .
