Apopting Soldiers Update

In an earlier post I mentioned we put in to adopt 4 soldiers through the Adoptaplatoon organization. So far we have 3 soldiers now. There are several options you can choose to support our troops. We chose the pen pal option. Where you commit to sending a card or email once a week to each soldier. You can adopt 1 or up to 4 soldiers. We chose 4 because I figured we could do this as a family. We can also send packages too but committed to being a pen pal because I know this is something we can do all the time. Anyway we got 2 more troops today. They both are in the Army Infantry. Funny but I did not notice it till I mailed off a letter to each of them that the two we got today were in the same unit. :) I am so happy to do this! This is how we all can show our support for them. Sending a card once a week doesn't take much time out of our day. You may say what would I say to them? Even if you only say you are thinking of them and sign your name. You are letting them know we are proud of them and are praying for their safety. Doing something for someone you do not know personally to let them know they are not forgotten. No one wants war! But the men and women over there have a job to do... they are fighting for YOUR freedom and need your support. They are someone sons or daughters over there. You are supporting the soldier!
