Support a Soldier

[CHARLIE]

Somebody here on this forum might be interested in this. They assign you a soldier. He's not a penpal but someone you can write to, send stuff to etc.

Well, I adopted me one.
I sent him a note, he replyed and I sent some info about me with a promise of him returning the favor.
I encourage more of you to do the same.
I remember being across the pond myself and how much any kind of contact with home meant to me. It doesn' take much effort and takes little time.
Just  pc_smiley may mean all the world to a lonely soldier.
Thanks Charlie for the link.

And thank you Haytrader. I'm sure you've made a soldier a little bit happier.

I got my 3rd letter (e mail) from my adopted soldier last night. His dad was a Nam vet.
He keeps calling me sir. He is a mechanic and trys to keep the Hummers going.
Thanks again Charlie for giving us this idea. I hope more of you take the time to do this. My soldier is really appreciative and even though I am busy, I am enjoying talking to him.
Oh, I asked him what he thought about the situation over there.
He said he thought we were doing some good but predicts the country will go back to it's old ways once we leave. I have thought that for a long time.

Still, I believe it is important to support the troops.
