I recently had a friend of mine poor her heart out to me about her boyfriend, whom was recently stationed in Iraq. She told me about how she sends him packages to keep in touch and to send him things he’s not able to purchase in Iraq. When I saw her again at Wal- Mart she was buying him Gatorade, candy, snacks and some other things that we normally take for granite in America.
She also told me that he gave her a list of soldiers who did not have close loved ones whom sent them things. She posted up the list where we worked and asked her fellow employees to send them care packages.
There are several solders in his branch and even many more that need to feel appreciated and cared for while they are away defending OUR country. I know many of you may not agree with the current situation in the Middle East, but those men and women are still sacrificing themselves so that we are able to stay safe and more secure at home.
There are many sites that offer services to deliver if you are willing to donate. Here are a few that I found in my 2 minutes of searching,USPS tips ,Gmail Troops , Military Brat (I'm sure there are hundreds more) An even more personal idea may be to send a care package to someone you already know or somebody in their division who he or she may know doesn't receive many letters or packages; Either way you would be making somebody’s day brighter and I’m sure he or she would feel more appreciated for what he or she does day in and day out.
