Great ideas for supporting soldiers

Our great blogging community comes through again. Barb's suggestions for practical ways to support soldiers deserve high visibility; it's the Christmas season, folks, so if you want to say "thank you" to someone serving on your behalf, here are some ways to do so:

• http://www.booksforsoldiers.com/ You've got books and DVDs you no longer need; soldiers would appreciate having them.
• http://www.soldiersangels.com Send care packages, write to wounded soldiers, much more. Unfortunately, not every soldier has a supportive family back home--can you help?
• http://www.spiritofamerica.net/. Wow--you donate to help soldiers' with their own "win the peace" projects. Check it out.

A standard caveat: I haven't checked these charities' financial statements--that's not my area. It is up to you to be a wise giver; I am simply passing on what I consider to be good suggestions for concrete ways to make your appreciation known.

Thanks again, Barb!
