Soldiers' Angels

Last night I registered to adopt a soldier that is currently in Iraq. Her name is Marica, and I wrote my first letter to her this morning. When I agreed to adopt I said that I would do my best to write at least one letter a week, and send at least one carepackage per month. I don't think that is asking too much. Especially since I am a veteran myself, that was deployed during Desert Storm. I totally understand the importance of receiving mail and support from everyone still home. I received many letters and carepackages from people that I have never met, and it made me feel great. Hopefully I can pass a little bit of that on to someone else. If anyone else is interested they can also contact Soldiers' Angels. Especially with the holidays coming up, this will be an important time for us to show how special they are.
