You don't have to tell us. Not an hour goes by that I don't think of them. I've just adopted a Pvt. that just went over there.......and I will be regularly sending him all the things he likes.....as well as corresponding with him. Several in my neighborhood are doing the same. In case any of you are interested, this is a great organization started by two American Airlines flight attendants. One of them...Janet Brady.....lost her young military son in an accident while he was stationed in Hawaii. She then started this organization because she knew this is what her son would have wanted. She regularly transports the serviceman back and forth between the states and Frankfort and Kuwait.....on their way to Iraq. She meets lots of them and their commanders, collects the names of those who want to be a part of the program. All you have to do is contact her at her website and she will assign you one to adopt. It only costs about $8 to $10 per month to mail your "adopted soldier" a shoe-box size of goodies. And nothing to correspond with him or her. Here's the information for anyone interested:
