I came across a great website where you can donate items to our combat soldiers. You simply go to anysoldier.com select "where to send" and a list of soldiers appears for you to select from with their individual and group needs. The program was founded in in 2003 by Sergeant Brian Horn , who was stationed in Kirkuk at the time. Sgt. Horn agreed to hand out any packages that were delivered to him addressed "Any Soldier". As with most great ideas any soldier took off! Today Any soldier has expanded to all branches of the military . Past donated items include sock, shoes, t-shirts, deodorant and hats, items that many take for granted. Why not help those who are in need. Check out http://www.anysoldier.com/ today.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ruth and I have adopted a soldier last week, Shayne Baugh from http://www.asoldierswishlist.org/.
I am disgusted that our soldiers are not receiving what they need while risking their lives to protect our freedom. We are buying $225's boots for him so he can protect us. If he had to pay for them, that would be a quarter of his paycheck.
I do not speak too much in absolutes, but feel people should consider adopting these soldiers who really need us.
