Send a Letter to the Troops!

This is a neat program designed by the Department of Defense and the Navy that allows anyone to send a letter to the troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. This way they get to read letters of encouragement while they are deployed.  While this was designed by the Navy, you can send a letter to a servicemember in any branch of the service.  Just click the link below...
