How You Can Help

Posted By Blackfive

Here are some things that you can do to help and support our troops! Thanks to all who have taken part in these endeavors!

1. If you haven't been to Soldier's Angels, please visit the site and consider adopting a soldier. With the current rotation in Iraq, there are hundreds of soldiers that want to be adopted but have not received a sponsor yet. You can make a difference with a simple letter.

2. I know that Oreos and Girl Scout Cookies go a long way to boost morale, too.

3. Look into donating money to these two charities:

A. The Special Operations Warrior Foundation

The SOWF provides scholarships for the children of Special Operations soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have lost their lives (in training or combat). One million dollars would go a long way in providing for the children of those who have died defending America.

B. United Warrior Survivor Foundation

UWSF offers scholarship grants to surviving spouses, along with educational counseling, financial guidance, investment planning, and other programs.

4. Think about donating your unused frequent flyer miles for a soldier to visit his or her family. Check out Operation Hero Miles.

Someone that was referred by this site to Soldiers Angels also was responsible for donating frequent flyer miles to bring a family to see their wounded soldier. Thank you!

So please think about supporting our troops. You can show that you care about their lives while they defend yours.

Update at 9:40PM EST: Ryan sends a link to Operation Gratitude where you can help send care packages to troops in Iraq.

And, Toni, sends this link to Books For Soldiers - it's one more way to show troops that you care.
