Sharing laughter with our troops ...
Since 2002 I have been “adopting” military members during their deployments overseas. Since most of them are in war zones and far away from their loved ones, my goal is to provide them with small comforts of home and bring a bit of laughter to their days.
Currently I am working on care packages for May. Since it is beginning to be very hot in the desert, I am sending them “cool” items and some “Spring” love. :o) Today I purchased the contents for the parcels; which include “fun” items to make them laugh … along with the typical wet wipes, hygiene products, and other items the troops have specifically requested.
If you would like to donate towards the postage for my care packages this month, please do so by clicking on the “donate” button on my website http://alwayssupportourheroes.com/ . Currently I have 5 guys (and their units) I am supporting, plus the Combat Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan (they asked for sheet sets this month), and continue collecting items for the Chaplain’s Closet at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center … also, if you want to help for June packages, please send me gift cards for WalMart, Costco, or Big Lots as I will purchase hot climate items to help them for the summer months .. and of course, their favorite junk foods. 🙂 Any donation you can make (big or small) would be GREATLY appreciated.
Also, please remember this is National Military Appreciation month and Memorial Day is coming up .. please take time to thank a service member and their families for the many sacrifices they make daily to serve and protect our Nation .. and make the world a better place.
It is my goal that none of our service members ever feel alone on the battlefield, or when they return home. If you would like to adopt your own service member, please go to http://adoptahero.us/ and sign up. Please remember many of our troops DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET regularly, and it is vital to their well being to receive mail during mail call. (US Mail delivery to their military base overseas).
Please send gift cards, or if you don’t have money and want to write cards to thank our heroes for their service for Memorial Day (or for any wounded members at the Combat Surgical Hospital), please send them to me:

Thanks so very much for your support and kind donations, and for helping me to make a difference for our valiant heroes. Just look at this picture above, and know how much they appreciate what we do to encourage them!
It is my belief, we can each make a difference .. one person .. one life at a time!
Always,
