Today is the day we remember those who have given their lives in our country’s service. But let’s also think about those soldiers who are serving now. The organization Soldier’s Angels assembles and ships care packages to soldiers–everything from books and crossword puzzles to toothpaste and lip balm. At Adopt A Platoon you can find out how to get started writing to a soldier and provide much needed moral support, and the website for the United Services Organization provides information on donating, becoming a corporate sponsor, or volunteering to assist the outfit that entertains troops abroad.
It’s important to honor the fallen. But living soldiers need our help.
