That was a generous and much appreciated gift you did. As to how to find the right soldier.. Soldiers Angels is a LEGITIMATE site with excellent match ups for those who want to help. My daughter is in the Army. She also ran a Soldiers Angels club at her high school to make sure that care packages went to those in need. The soldiers are recommended by those in a higher position who realize these kids are NOT getting mail from home.. it can make a real difference to get a note, a small care package just because you want to say thank you. So for your stockings.. thank you. For your neighbor who helped fill them.. thank you. You are paying it forward in such a good and needed way.
