To honor active US military personnel, Adopt A U.S. Soldier is a volunteer-based organization that connects supportive Americans with deployed soldiers and offers a channel by which to communicate  encouragement and express gratitude to the brave men and women serving our nation.

Sign up to “adopt” a soldier, and you will receive the mail and email addresses for a soldier.  These soldiers are looking for notes and/or letters, and a bit of encouragement from home.   Many have very little family and some have none, so they are not as fortunate to receive news and well wishes, as do other soldiers with family back home. Please visit the site, and adopt a soldier – they appreciate and love the letters more than we will ever know.
