"A Little Touch of Home"

During World War II, a group of mothers who had sons or daughters involved in the war, formed a support group. Today, military support groups are formed within their own branches. Our group, Operation: MOM was created in the same supportive spirit with two differences. The first difference is that Operation: MOM includes all family and friends of those who are active military personnel. We serve as a support group for parents, spouses, sisters, brothers, close family, and friends of those securing our freedom, whether here or afar. The second difference is Operation: MOM includes all branches of service. Operation: MOM extends this purpose to the families of those on the battlefield, in the air, on the seas and under them and those just starting out in their military training. It is important we support one another, assist one another, and meet the special needs all of us are having or soon will experience, no matter what branch of service our loved one is in.

We also provide direct support to our military personnel who are currently deployed overseas through letters of encouragement, food packages, and other necessities that will remind our troops of how much they are supported and loved. We remind them of our great appreciation for their contribution to each and everyone of us on the home front. Our military troops will face their enemies knowing we are praying for each and every one of them, and thinking of them often. We are united as Americans, one country, and for one great purpose: FREEDOM!

Few headlines about our troops in Iraq now, but they still need our support.

During the war, I remembering seeing something about "adopting a soldier" (to send care packages & correspondance etc). What I'm wondering, is if there couldn't be some sort of "adopt-a-child" big-brother/big-sister type of effort for the children of personnel lost in the war (and in the continuing operations in Iraq). I would think the extra support for surviving spouses & families would be a plus? Additionally, the kids would learn, from others outside the families, that as a country we appreciate the sacrifice.
Does anyone think that's a good idea? Where/who should be contacted regarding something like that?

BEAUTIFUL idea!!! But I haven't had any family in the military since my Dad was in WWII, and I haven't a clue where to start.
