I encourage everyone to at least read some of the comments on the site, even if you're not financially able to help at this time ... incredibly eye-opening and overwhelming to get a glimpse of the sacrifices these men and women are making.

And remember, there is plenty of time to write out a Christmas card or two conveying your support. Many of the service members ask for nothing more than letters of support, so for the price of a card and 37 cents postage, you can lift alot of spirits (many of them posts cards and letters in central locations for all to read).

That's an excellent point. I did notice that several of the posts talked about how much they loved receiving cards and letters.

Also, at least one of the units was saying that they could never get enough stationery and greeting cards to write to family and friends back home; apparently those items are difficult to get on base.
