Soldiers and the holidays

Alright, so Thanksgiving is now over and everyone has happily moved on to getting ready for Christmas, or Yule as I have taken to calling it. Well I started listening to the song Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood and happened on a video someone had made in memory and tribute to the troops who are overseas fighting for us. While I don't personally know anyone over seas right now I feel the need to do something for those who don't have family or friends to write to them. I recently found a website dedicated to that very purpose. I'm not trying to promote them so much as I have decided that starting tomorrow, I'm going to write a letter a day to the soldiers who don't get much, or any, mail. I feel the need to do something for those men and women over there fighting for an entire country and millions of people they don't even know. I'm hoping to be able to collect some things to send in a care package as well because they have tons of stuff listed that would be a great help to them.

http://www.anysoldier.com/ that's the website if anyone is interested in what they do. I know I can't do much, I don't even have a job right now. But I can write and send home-made cards.

So there ya go, my serious post for the next few days...I'm just really glad that I can do something, even something small for people who do so much.
