Thousands of Americans are again asking what they can do to show their support for service members, especially those serving overseas in this time of war. Below are Web sites for several organizations that are sponsoring programs for members of the Armed Forces overseas.
Donate a calling card to help keep servicemembers in touch with their families at Operation Uplink at http://www.operationuplink.org/
Send a greeting via e-mail through Operation Dear Abby at
Sign a virtual thank you card at the Defend America Web site at http://www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html
Make a donation to one of the military relief societies:

Volunteer at a VA Hospital to honor veterans who bore the lamp of freedom in past conflicts.
Support families whose loved ones are being treated at military and VA hospitals through a donation to the Fisher House at www.fisherhouse.org. www.fisherhouse.org
Reach out to military families in your community, especially those with a loved one overseas.
Note:
Please do not flood the military mail system with letters, cards, and gifts. Due to security concerns and transportation constraints, the Department cannot accept items to be mailed to " Any Servicemember ." Some people have tried to avoid this prohibition by sending large numbers of packages to an individual servicemember's address, which however well intentioned, clogs the mail and causes unneccessary delays.
The support and generosity of the American people has touched the lives of many servicemembers, over 300,000 of whom are deployed overseas.

As America's men and women in uniform stand ready to defend our freedoms, the demand for USO services has steadily increased. In response to this need, the USO has expanded its already broad spectrum of programs to ensure that virtually every member in our U.S. Armed Forces and their families benefits from its critical services. At this time, more than ever before, the USO must rely on the generosity of individuals and corporations so that we may continue to provide morale-boosting services to our Armed Forces and their families. Your support truly affects every Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airman and Coast Guardsman who protects America's freedom, in harm's way.

Please Support Our Troops!! As they fight to defend our country and our Freedom, We must support or troops as they serve our country to make sure that something like
9-11 never happens again. So all of you flower sniffing,
tree hugging people, who enjoy your freedom so well don't want to root for the home team, just stop and think for a minute about what it would be like to live in another country other than
"The United States Of America" if you think it would be so much better, Then get the F - - K out!!
Don't get me wrong I'm all for peace but sometime you have to fight for what is right, freedom has always had a very high price tag. it does not come free or with out cost, if you can't support our country when all of America needs to be standing together then you don't have any right to call yourself an American.
