| Cybersarge’s is IN SUPPORT of our troops 200%+! I am a disabled Vietnam veteran and know what it is like to have ZERO support at home and I WILL NOT have that situation for our troops today! WE must remember that we are AT WAR!!!! We have the right to disagree because those who have laid their lives on the line, many paying the ultimate price, have paid for that right! Let Freedom ring and May GOD bless our country and our troops! |

Thousands
of Americans are again asking what they can do to show their support for
servicemembers, especially those serving overseas in this time of war. Below
are Web sites for several organizations that are sponsoring programs for
members of the Armed Forces overseas. While it would be inappropriate for the
DOD to endorse any specifically, servicemembers do value and appreciate such
expressions of support:
Donate a calling card to help keep
servicemembers in touch with their families at Operation Uplink at http://www.operationuplink.org/
Sign a virtual thank you card at the Defend America
Web site at http://www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html
Make a donation to one of the military relief
societies:
Army Emergency
Relief at http://www.aerhq.org/
Navy/Marine
Relief Society at http://www.nmcrs.org/
Air Force
Aid Society at http://www.afas.org/
Coast Guard
Mutual Assistance at http://www.cgmahq.org/
Donate to “Operation
USO Care Package" at http://www.usometrodc.org/care.html
Support the American Red
Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services at http://www.redcross.org/services/afes/
Volunteer at a VA Hospital
to honor veterans who bore the lamp of freedom in past conflicts.
Support families whose loved ones are
being treated at military and VA hospitals through a donation to the Fisher
House at www.fisherhouse.org.
Reach out to military families in your
community, especially those with a loved one overseas. You may see some of the
families displaying the BLUE STAR Flag.
Please do
not flood the military mail system with letters,
cards, and gifts. Due to security concerns and transportation constraints,
the Department 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.
The support and generosity of the
American people has touched the lives of many servicemembers, over 300,000 of
whom are deployed overseas.
