During the holiday season, I hope everyone will keep our troops who are deployed and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
I know that the war in Iraq is an extremely controversial topic these days, but whether you support the war or not, our soldiers deserve our respect and our support. Unfortunately, because of the war controversy and many peoples dislike of the situation in Iraq, this contempt gets placed on our troops and they are coming home to a country that no longer shows support and thanks to them for the service they provide. We take many things for granted in this country, including our freedom, which we would not have if it was not for our fathers and grandfathers, etc., and which we won't have in the future if it wasn't for those who selflessly volunteer to serve their country. Please remember that it is the people that we elect (which I hope EVERYONE voted) who decide for these men and women where they go and what their missions are, not the troops themselves.
Below are different organizations that you can get involved with or make a donation to that will help our troops and show your support of those who are ultimately serving you! If it is not something you would normally do, then please consider at least involving yourself with one of these during the holidays, a time that is made for giving and being thankful.

Soldiers angels is a wonderful organization in which you can adopt a soldier and write letters to them. To adopt a soldier you must commit to sending a card or letter a week and AT LEAST 1 or 2 care packages a month, so please be committed if you choose to do this.
