Support Our Armed Forces!!!
Here are a variety of websites that send care packages, Frequent flyer miles, and among other things support the families of our fallen comrades.
http://www.heromiles.org/donate.html http://www.lbeh.org/ http://www.usocares.org/home.htm - Show a Service Member You Care With hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops deployed around the world, actively engaged in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the fight against terrorism, the USO is offering a way to send a reminder to the troops that they are appreciated and have not been forgotten. Due to heightened security, individuals can no longer send letters and packages marked for delivery to 'Any Service Member'. Endorsed by the Department of Defense, the USO program "Operation USO Care Package", provides individuals with a way to touch the lives of our deployed troops around the world. The USO is sending care packages that include requested items such as pre-paid worldwide phone cards, sunscreen, travel size toiletries, and messages from Americans who want to thank them for their service. As days turn into weeks and weeks into months, reminders from home are welcomed by the troops. Corporations may donate items to go into the care packages, many of which may be branded with your corporate logo. These items must be sent in bulk from the manufacturer. Please call (703) 696-0994 for advance coordination of deliveries. If you are interested in sponsoring a care package and including your personal message please click 'donate now' and select your preferred method of donation. If your company is interested in doing a corporate program, please contact us at questions@usocarepackage.org, or call (571) 261-1465, and we will let you know of the different ways corporations may rally around our troops. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is phone cards. The government doesn't pay long distance phone charges and these wounded soldiers are rationing their calls home. Many will be there throughout the holidays. Really support our troops --Send phone cards of any amount to: MedicalFamily Assistance Center Walter Reed Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20307-5001 They say they need an "endless" supply of these -- any amount even $5 is greatly appreciated. Wal-Mart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is even better, if you are a member. __________________________________________________ ____________________ Want another way to boost your service members morale? You can buy "Burger Bucks" online at www.burgerking.com or at your local participating Burger King. The bucks come in multiples in five and can be used at any Burger King concession on military bases worldwide, including those in Iraq, Qatar, and Southwest Asia. __________________________________________________ ____________________ Soldiers wishlist Food Items potted meat Vienna sausages pop tarts crackers Cheese Whiz Rice Crispy Treats Gardetos Bugles Chex mix Hot Fries sun flower seeds powdered sports drinks gum/hard candy tuna lunchables popcorn nuts gummi bears summer sausage Ritz crackers Little Debbie snacks Health Aids babywipes panty liners tampons feminine pads baby powder deoderants chap stick shaving cream Clorox wipes wash cloths rubbing alcohol Neosporin toothbrushes/paste laundry detergent floss hand sanitizer peroxide asprin Tylenol Midol Ace wraps contact solution shampoo body wash face wash razors Recreation frisbees footballs dart boards kickballs baseball gloves board games playing cards word puzzles used softball equipment disposable cameras Miscellaneous books magazines cd's dvd's pens and stationery Kiwi shoe polish bandanas camouflaged phone cards cigarettes snuff batteries flashlights walkie talkies cleaning supplies -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://saluteheroes.org/ http://opgratitude.com/website/html...1fedb53381e47ab http://www.treatsfortroops.com/ http://www.hannity.com/story.php?content=/support http://www.giftformilitaryfamilies.com/ http://www.freedomalliance.org/ http://www.actiongear.com/cgi-bin/t...004565&xax=4695 Here are some items that may be needed: RELIEF PACK, SOLDIER - http://www.actiongear.com/cgi-bin/t...OPY%2Ectx=27393 RELIEF PACK, SOLDIER PLUS - http://www.actiongear.com/cgi-bin/t...OPY%2Ectx=27395 RELIEF PACK, BUDDY - http://www.actiongear.com/cgi-bin/t...OPY%2Ectx=27396 RELIEF PACK, SQUAD - http://www.actiongear.com/cgi-bin/t...OPY%2Ectx=27397 I'm a GM2 in the US Navy IRR.

This fund was created for the purpose of assisting the injured soldiers returning from deployment. There is a great need for modification / adaptations to the homes of these recovering soldiers. This may include wheel chair ramps as well as other minor/ major alterations.
