We have also adopted several soldiers through www.OperationAC.com

Just got new combat boots for the latest one as suggested on the OperationAC website.

Everyone of the soldiers has been so sweet and very appreciative.

We asked our family members if they would like to show support for our troops this Christmas in lieu of exchanging family gifts. Everyone has agreed to donate the money they would have spent on gifts to organizations that support the troops!

Thanks Former Military Chick for this thread on "America Supports You". I will be sending a link to the website to my family and my mega email list!

We also volunteer through Operation A/C for "Operation Holiday Eagle" to send holiday cards to a battalion. Just got our assignment on Friday and I spent the weekend inscribing quotes on freedom, democracy, courage, and liberty on each card. Our unit is 90 soldiers and, since we don't have each invidual's name, we thought that would be a nice way to make each card feel special. I am off to the post office now!

I just don't understand this---I have written to so many soldiers, sent packages and even spent the $100 on the boots and have not heard from any of them!! I now have a claim in with the Post Office to get my money back for that package. I'm glad I had it insured and had return receipt requested. I don't know where that package went, or where all my other packages and letters went, but I feel so sad that I haven't heard from any of the soldiers to whom I had written.
Meanwhile, my son-in-law, who is stationed in the Sinai, has gotten my packages in less than a week!!

Go figure???
