country poetry & more

Although you hear little about it in the major news media, our service men and women are making friends in the middle east one child at a time by doing what Americans do best, loving and giving of themselves. With school supplies, toys, clothes, food, gentle hands and big smiles, they are winning a war that no bomb can match. And part of this good news is that you can help. The greatest need of our people on foreign soil is loyal support from home, especially letters from family, friends, strangers to let them know they are not alone in this battle for freedom.

Just log onto www.anysoldier.com for a wealth of information: addresses, newsletters, general and specific needs. Some of the posts are in remote areas where obtaining such things as personal hygeine supplies is a big problem. Things we take for granted every day may be luxuries to these young people who are daily defending our very way of life. Either we do our part to help them do their job, or the war will eventually be fought on our own soil. Freedom is not free.
