This is a way you can help without making a statement for any political party. This is a legitimate organization. Sometimes you will hear back from the soldier you adopt, sometimes you will not.
"I was with that which others
did not want to be,
I went to where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing of those who gave nothing,
and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness that I feel.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear,
And enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried pain and hope,
But most of all I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least some day I'll be able to say,
That I was proud what I was, A Soldier."

FROM HER WEBSITE:
Soldiers' Angels was started by a self-described ordinary mother of an ordinary young man turned hero, Sgt. Brandon Varn. Brandon was deployed in Iraq and has since honorably completed his mission and has returned back to his proud and loving family.
In the summer of 2003, he wrote
home expressing his concern that some soldiers did not receive any mail or
support from home. Being a caring and loving mother, she decided not to allow a
situation like that to continue. She contacted a few friends and extended family
to ask if they would write to a soldier or two. Within a few short months,
Soldiers' Angels went from a mother writing a few extra letters to an Internet
Community with thousands of angels worldwide.
With more and more merchants donating services, money and items for packages, the Angels reorganized as a 501 c 3 non-profit so all donations would be tax deductible. Soldiers' Angels currently supports tens of thousands of American Service Members stationed wherever we raise our nation's flag, and that number continues to grow daily. Soldiers' Angels are dedicated in supporting our military during and after their deployment.
In December of 2004 a
worldwide support
forum was created in the hopes of providing a
place where the needs of our heroes could be fulfilled.
In July 2006 this ordinary mothers youngest son, Bretton Varn started Boot Camp and looks forward to serving his country.
May God Bless Our Troops
This is a great way to help a soldier one-on-one. You can directly write to or email a soldier. It is a very rewarding experience for all parties involved. And, you just may get a view of what is really going on in this world.
Thank a Vet the next time you see him or her. And, while you are at it, if you truly support the troops, why not write a letter to a soldier and tell him/her that you appreciate them too? America Supports You is another great help highly recommended by President Bush.
"America Supports You," is a nationwide program launched by the Department of Defense, recognizes citizens' support for our military men and women and communicates that support to members of our Armed Forces at home and abroad.
