Soldiers Angels

Because Americans do appreciate what the troops are doing on our behalf, support organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Some are mom and pop operations, some are big, some are quasi-official, some have limited scope and some do it all. In the later category is Soldiers Angels, which was started by a GI's mom and has grown to be a full spectrum effort. Go to www.sodiersangels.org tand get information on how to do everything from donate your car you are no longer using, donate your airline miles so a GI can come home on leave, donate money, boots, comfort items, sand scarves; submit a wounded hero to receive care packages , donate items for GI's that are helping Iraqi kids or get involved in tangible and effective support for our troops. those yellow ribbons are and bumper stickers are fine, but the troops can't see them. Soldiers Angels concentrate on things deployed troops and returning wounded need. Like Project Valor-IT (voice activated laptops for our injured troops), a really good endeavor that is outfitting voice activated laptop computers for troops who have sustained arm or hand injury or loss. In phase-I, these units are being distributed to major military medical centers for training the troops, and in subsequent phases the will be supplies for the troops to take with them. Soldiers Angels has been reorganized as a non-profit organization so your donations are tax deductible. Check'em out and grab your checkbook, the holidays are over, but the war is not. Keep support for our troops coming, this is a very good pipeline.
