Mudville has a great post about a soldier waiting 40 yrs of get a care package. He also gave some links where you can get involved. Last year my daughter's cheerleading squad sent care packages to a division where the cheer coach's brother was stationed in Iraq. I put all the things together, goodies and snacks, books, and baby wipes, and all kinds of things. The girls all wrote letters to the boys with a picture of themselves attached. (Nice wholesome pictures, so stop thinking the "internet cheerleader thing.") I received a wonderful thank you note back via e-mail with pictures of the guys. He said the guys appreciated so much all the goodies, but really all the kind words of appreciation from some high school girls who were growing up in a world that will be safer because of the work of these brave men.

Let's not forget our warriors. Send something if you can. Soldiers' Angels and Any Soldier tells you how.
