Need Some Troops Overseas to Adopt

How thoughtful of you!! One way is to check in your church (if you attend one), the pastoral staff will usually know of some local soldiers. Another great way to find out about troops is to call your local National Guard Armory. They will know what units have deployed & be able to give you some information about sending care packages, letters, etc... To many of the soldiers aren't getting mail and it's heartbreaking. Good luck & know that you are going to make someones day!

Hi E.,

Here is another website to for contacting soldiers service overseas.

I just wanted to say how wonderful you are in organizing this for our soldiers. My brother just came back from Iraq...he is a seasoned soldier with many overseas tours. It broke my heart the day he told how awful it felt not to receive mail...any mail! And believe me, his wife, children, and myself, and several other relatives thought that we were doing a great job at sending him email, letters, cards and packages. But it takes a village! Here is one thing that I started doing when I ran out of ideas: I bought a bunch of post cards and sat down one day and wrote one joke on each card. I mailed one a day during the last month of his 18 mo. tour. He had already started packing to come home and had to ship a lot of stuff home, so the post cards went into their "common area" to share with others. Again, I aplaud you and your ideas!

Hey E. as a Navy vet I applaud you :-)
Here is a great web page- http://www.soldiersangels.com/
They have a list of soldiers/sailors that have no one to support them.

Hi E.,
What a wonderful project you are starting! This is a website of an organization at Fort Hood. She helps many troops and there families. I have personally witnessed all that she is doing and it's great. I hope this can be of help and if you need any more information just let me know. http://www.tmff.us/home.html

I adopted a soldier through this site:

They were pretty quick assigning me to a soldier... about 2 days, I think.
