It is hard to believe, but the holidays are just a month away.  So I want to push this out to you now while you have enough time to act.

If you are interested, there are numerous sites offering you ways to send holiday cards and letters to our troops stationed overseas, especially for those in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Being stations and in harms way during the holidays, thousands of miles away from their family and friends, is difficult at the least.  So in the season of giving, take a few minutes and give back to these brave men and women a token of your appreciation.

Some of the organizations that are coordinating card and letter events are:

Red Cross – “Holiday Mail for Heroes”

XEROX – “Let’s Say Thanks”

You can also send them electronic communications:

Easter Seals – Send an eCard

And to help the troops view these messages:

USO – “Operation Mail Call”

But the best way to help our troops this season to help them get back in touch with their loved ones.  You can help by donating calling cards so the troops can phone home during the holidays:

USO – “Operation Phone Home”

AAFES – Military prepaid calling cards

Take a moment and check out these programs and do what you can to help our troops this holiday season.
