God Bless! Sounds like you have a story. Hope that everything is okay with you.

A fine tribute. I don't intend to get off-topic, and I'm sure this has been asked more than a million times on FreeRepublic, but how does one go about sending American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan "Fan mail" including phone cards and nonfood items/ or just postcards? Are there contact addresses to send such correspondence? Again, please forgive the question, yet I sure would like to write to the troops and express my gratitude for their remarkable service.

Beautiful!

Thank you, PKM.

All of you are going to love the last picture of this tribute!

A great tribute with a great finale.

I wish this image were more widely posted.

Bless him.

Thanks!

Had never seen this site until I was given the link tonight -- it should be all over the Net. That little girl really got to me!

My Grandfather was a soldier in the Great War

He knew of sacrifice and what's worth fighting for.

My father sailed upon a ship, North Seas, Korea bound

Another US soldier, another war had found.

Then came a time for me, a sense of duty deep inside

To serve as others had, for freedom, lived and died.

Freedom is not free, the cost is high, and yet

There are those we will never meet, who stand and pay that debt.

Wasn't prepared for the strong emotion when I went to this link. Cannot imagine how hard it is for small children with their parents in the military and deployed. Real tearjerker.

[PhiKapMom]

That is beautiful -- thanks for posting.

Check out this site: Books For Soldiers for contact info for troops who would like books - but I'm sure would appreciate letters and anything sent to them. Be sure to check out Operation Forgotten Soldier in the forum.

Outstanding recommendation. Thank you! It's humbling to think something as simple as a book could bring a degree of happiness, and here I sit with a hot pizza which I had delivered. May I think twice before I ever complain about how rough I've got it.
