Here are a few suggestions for you to use to show your support for our men and women deployed abroad:

KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER:

Operation Uplink allows you to donate a phone card so that servicemembers may keep in touch with their families back home.

CONTACT THE TROOPS:

Defend America - Send a virtual thank you card to our men and women overseas.

America Supports You - Spotlighing what Americans are doing in support of the military and encouraging others to thank the troops

MILITARY RELIEF SOCIETIES:

Army Emercency Relief Society

SUPPORT OUR VETERANS:

Volunteer your time at a VA Hospital to show your support for those who have defended their country in past conflicts.

PLEASE NOTE:  While any support is most certainly appreciated by our Armed Services, please do not flood the military mail system with letters, cards, and gifts.  Due to security concerns and transportation constraints, the Department of Defense cannot accept items to be mailed to "Any Servicemember."  Some people have tried to avoid this prohibition by sending large numbers of packages to an individual servicemember's address, which however well intentioned, clogs the mail and causes unnecessary delays.
