Support Our Troops!
No matter where you stand on war, we can all stand together when it comes to supporting the troops. These men and women have volunteered to put their lives at risk to preserve our freedoms. Below you will find a list of useful websites that will list addresses to send letters, care packages, and kind words to the men and women in every branch of service.

Due to the threat of anthrax following September 11, DoD suspended its practice of forwarding personal care packages and correspondence by the American public to “Any Service Member.” In its place, USO created a care package program. Through sponsorship of an “Operation USO Care Package,” an individual’s personal greeting will be transcribed onto an official postcard and included in the care package going to a service member.Please send all checks and personal greetings for “Operation USO Care Package” to:
