When looking online for information about ways to get involved with soldiers overseas, I came across a website that really bothered me. It talked about soldiers that did not get any mail. Soldiers that are on active duty sign up for this program to receive mail and other items from people here in the states. You simply write a letter and mail it to the address on the website, addressed to "Any Soldier". They rotate through the list of soldiers who have signed up for it (there are over 15,000). Writing to "any soldier" allows people here to get involved, even if they don't know anyone serving personally. Writing a letter to someone overseas fighting for our lives can make a world of difference. A soldier who has received mail from this program said that just letting them know that we appreciate what they're doing can change their entire mindset. I encourage everyone to write just one letter of appreciation to the men and women who are risking their lives for us, day after day.
