Adopt A US Soldier<br />

Adopt A US Soldier is a non-profit organization that seeks volunteers and<br />

donors to help show the brave men and women fighting for our freedom<br />

that their sacrifices will not go unnoticed. It connects supportive civilians<br />

with deployed soldiers and offers a channel by which to communicate<br />

encouragement and express gratitude to those serving in the United States<br />

Armed Forces. Adopt A US Soldier is sustained by its volunteer workforce<br />

located across the United States. After a supporter asked a soldier what<br />

they needed, his response was as follows: “No requests, just don’t want<br />

to be forgotten.” -LCPL O.J.T. III When registering for Adopt A US Soldier<br />

your involvement can range from writing letters and sending postcards, to<br />

mailing care packages full of items a soldier may need or want. Handwritten<br />

letters are most important and meaningful to soldiers. Adopt A US Soldier<br />

encourages civilians to adopt a soldier to show your support for those<br />

that are making sacrifices for our country. If interested, please go to www.<br />

adoptaussoldier.org to register.<br />
