Many of our sons and daughters in the Armed Services will be spending the holidays far from home. It can be a lonely time and messages from home are great and notes from strangers saying they are thought of are particulalarly welcomed.
E-mails of thanks and encouragement can be sent to a Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman, or Coast Guardsman anywhere in the world. One site is sponsored by the United Services Organization (USO) and is reached at : http://www.uso.org/pubs/8_18_23.cfm where there is also information on sending packages and/or messages.
