Support Our Troops
Whether they're stationed in South Korea, Bosnia, the Middle East, the Philippines, other foreign bases or at sea, the men and women in the U.S. military
voluntarily risk their lives to defend our freedom. The pay is lousy. The work conditions suck. Their daring achievements are often unappreciated.
Here's how you can make our military's job a little easier. Click on the websites listed below for ways to directly assist the troops. To name just a few, you can "adopt" a platoon or a soldier, send emails of support, become a pen pal, support the USO, send a care package or even donate a prepaid calling card, toiletries, pillow cases, sugar, magazines and fans.
One program coordinator writes, "The thing that I hear most from our military personnel is that they want to know that their country is behind them."
These websites offer very simple, inexpensive ways to let the troops know that you appreciate their efforts to defend America:
Operation Military Support
Support Our Troops Programs
Operation USO Care Package
Operation Uplink (calling card donations)
Defend America (email thank-you cards)
