How to Adopt a Soldier in Iraq
As our troops courageously fight in Iraq, there are numerous ways to care for them from your own home. One of the best and most common ways is through the "Adopt a US Soldier" program. This organization allows people to connect to soldiers they do not know, sending them care packages, letters, or anything else the soldiers need. Adopt a US Soldier.org is the bridge for soldiers and individuals, allowing soldiers to fill out adoption request forms with needed items while individuals can view this information and "adopt" soldiers by providing them with those items listed.

Tips & Warnings
You must be 18 years or older to participate in this program.
This program gives you the freedom to creatively choose just how involved you want to be in a soldier's life. You can send letters or send care packages--it is all up to you.
When sending a care package, consider the USPS--Flat Rate Boxes option because you will pay a flat fee regardless of how much you stuff in the box. To request these boxes, click the "How to Send" link and then "USPS--Flat Rate Boxes."

I would love to exchange letters and send care packages to those who need it. I don't evern mind donating money for useful causes, but this has because very complicated. Why can't we just pick a person and write. I am not looking for a soldier husband. I am not looking for anything but a friendship. I thought that maybe I would be able to help someone who is totally alone. This wep site reminds me how big bucks these things can be. Like I said. I guess I would just beeing stupid for wanting to help some one out. I am not in a dating serice, or making money service, or what ever else you want to call it. I just wanted to thank these good women and gentlemen for put it out there all the time so we woudl be safe back here. I am Very sorry if I misunderstook your web side.
