US Military

Military pen pal

The Dept. of Defense is responding to queries from thousands of Americans who are again asking what they can do to show their support for service members, especially those serving overseas in this time of war?

The following are websites for several organizations sponsoring programs for members of the Armed Forces overseas. While it would be inappropriate for DoD to endorse any specifically, service members do value and appreciate such expressions of support:

Send a message of support to Soldiers who are serving in the War on Terrorism through the Army's 'To Our Soldiers' website. www.army.mil/tooursoldiers Donate a calling card to help keep service members in touch with their families at Operation Uplink at www.operationuplink.org/ Send a greeting via e-mail through Operation Dear Abby at http://anyservicemember.navy.mil/ or www.OperationDearAbby.net Sign a virtual thank you card at the Defend America Web site at www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html
