Here's a great story of how everyone can help:
High Point Regional High School in Sussex, NJ is made up of special need students but that did not stop them from helping our brave soldiers currently serving in Iraq. Each year the school holds a charity for the annual Make a Difference Day and this year they selected to help our troops.
Throughout the year the students raised funds during high school and local church events. Hearing that many of our soldiers do not have enough money to call home they decided to use the money to purchase phone cards. The students not only collected funds but they also collected letters written by individuals for the soldiers. The class ended up collecting over 1,700 letter's and $3,300 worth of phone cards.
Army Lt. Gen. Ray Odiero, then-commanding general for the Multi- National Corps Iraq summed it up best when he said "These (students) are extraordinary individuals who cares about others"
