Adopt A Soldier, or something like that...

[William Knowles <wk () c4i org>]

Sometime ago with the holidays around the corner, some of you were
curious on ways to adopt a serviceman or woman serving either here or
overseas. From what I understood the Department of Defense stopped
forwarding parcels and mail from anonymous parties about the time of
the Anthrax attacks to the U.S. Government.

I did however keep my ears and eyes open and I think I might have
something that you all might be interested in, from the website...

Send a special holiday message to our men and women in the military 
defending American freedom worldwide.

Since 1967, when Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren and 
mentioned that a wonderful Christmas present to our armed forces would 
be "just a letter from home," American citizens have been sending 
holiday wishes to servicemen and women stationed overseas every 
holiday season. Dubbed "Operation Dear Abby," the program has brought 
holiday joy to hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel 
deployed away from home.

Concerns about mail delivery have prompted the military to suspend 
this year's letter-writing campaign. However, the United States 
Department of the Navy's LifeLines2000 Services Network in association 
with SPAWAR SCC-NCR is providing this private and secure online 
resource that will allow you to send a Sailor, Marine, Soldier, Airman 
or Coast Guardsman a holiday greeting.


Thank you, & God Bless America!
