You asked...
How can I support the troops?
In lieu of sending a letter or package to our service-members,
there are numerous other ways you can show your support
for the men and women serving our country overseas. While
our office does not endorse any specific group or organization,
we have included several options that you may wish to consider:
Operation
USO Care Package
Due to heightened security, individuals can no longer send
letters and packages addressed to "Any Service Member."
Operation USO Care Package provides a safe, easy way for
you to show that your thoughts are with our service members.
The Care Packages contain an assortment of items specifically
requested by the military, such as prepaid international
calling cards, disposable cameras, toiletries, and sunscreen.
Operation Dear Abby.net
Dear Abby, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Department of the Navy's LifeLines2000 Services Network in association with SPAWAR SCC (National Capital Region) is providing this private and secure online resource that will allow you to send a Sailor, Marine, Soldier, Airman, or Coast Guardsman a message of support.
