Ways to help...
I noticed that KT and Amy were talking about this in another journal so I wanted to post this. A friend of mine at work put this together and I posted it in my blog on a news site...
Treat any soldier.... A way to send care packages. Whats great about this is they already have the care packages together. You just have to pick which one to send. You can send it to a specific soldier or to any soldier. They range in price from $11.95 to $139.95

This one is AWSOME!!! Its a totally free way to send soldiers some smiles! You pick a thank you card (designed by kids!) And put a message on it and they send them to the soldiers. I think this is a fantastic way to get kids involved in saying thank you to the soldiers. My kids LOVE it. We sit at the computer every night and they each get to send 2 before they go to bed. Makes them feel good knowing that they are helping.
