OK fellow Americans, it's not too late to show your troops some love! I've posted before about the Any Soldier website. Hop on over - pick a soldier, fill a small box, and make someone's day! We sent two boxes last week with our church youth group and had a great time making cards, writing letters, etc. It's interesting to read the posts from various soldiers and the the little things they request that make their stay overseas a bit more comfortable. I was always worried about shipping, but I found out last week that you can send one of these - a 12x12x5 priority USPS box to any military address for a flat rate of $11.95 (doesn't even matter how much it weighs!) The great part is that it just takes a matter of days to get to Iraq or Afghanistan. It's a great project to do with the kids on the 4th!

As a veteran and current DoD civilian, I have many friends over there, headed over there, or have returned home. These boxes make a huge difference in their tours and sometimes might be that 1 thing that gets them through. Thanks so much for doing this, Melissa.
