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 />
