In this blog I'm going to write about how we can as a community can uplift the Heroes that I mentioned in my previous blog. So first let me get started by asking how you feel when you receive a card in the mail or better yet a package of goodies with your favorite candy or favorite nick knacks? It's exciting right?? Did you know that this is just one of the many ways that you can support our troops? By sending a card - and it only costs .44 cents! Perfect for all those on a budget! How about when it's your birthday - who wouldn't get excited to receive a Birthday card along with a Birthday cake?? How exciting!! Did you know you could this for a soldier or even a K-9 soldier team? Well it's possible and there are so many organizations that you can team up with to do this. 0ne in particular that I have been working with is called Soldiers Angels. Here you will find plenty or resources of how you can send letters, care packages, Birthday cards/cakes, and many other things that would definitely boost the morale of all those that are serving their missions. And yes, even the K-9 teams need those extra treats to keep them positive too! :) Just read below the article I found recently in the NY Times talking about how significant receiving "snail mail" can be...

After reading this interesting article I invite you to visit www.soldiersangels.org where you can find plenty of different teams that you can become involved with whatever your interest may be. There is something for everyone, just take a visit to the website! Also below I linked a community video of the Soldiers Angels New York Chapter - great job Ms. Marie Wheeler!
