I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this. But I wanted to share a website that I found last year that allows you to connect with deployed soldiers. I know many of us know soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan and may send them care packages, but there are many who don't get much.
Anyway, some units use this website
http://anysoldier.com/ to list some of their needs/wants and updates and if you find it in your heart and means to send a care package during this giving season, I am sure it'll go a long way for these brave souls. Actually many just ask for letters, hand-drawn pictures and anything to make them feel close to home. It'll be a great project to get your kids involved in too.
I am not affiliated in any way, I was just getting some packages out and thought I'd share.
Happy Holidays all.
