He even sent us each GITMO t-shirts from a small store they have on the base. This is a wonderful way to touch soldiers' lives, and they end up touching yours as well.<BR/>Another organization that I use is AnySoldier.com<BR/>You can send letters and care packages to soldiers without making a long term commitment to any one soldier. <BR/>Both organizations are doing great work.Jamie Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036600186909466411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-1134538911071679852005-12-14T00:41:00.000-05:002005-12-14T00:41:00.000-05:00SA is a terrific org, started by a mom who wanted ...SA is a terrific org, started by a mom who wanted to make sure all her son's buddies got letters at mail call.

My soldier, Ben, who's in Afghanistan with the "Sky Soldiers" of the 173rd, sends me e-mail whenever he can.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's enough outta me.
