HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR TODAY’S MILITARY MONDAY.

LAST WEEK I GOT AN EMAIL FROM SOLDIERS ANGELS.
THEY WANTED TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE SOLDIER THAT I HAD ADOPTED WAS GOING HOME.
IT IS ALWAYS SUCH A RELIEF WHEN I GET THESE EMAILS.
THAT MEANS A SOLDIER GET’S TO GO HOME TO THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
IN MY SOLDIERS CASE ALSO TO HER 3 YEAR OLD BABY GIRL.

I WENT TO THE SOLDIERS ANGELS WEBSITE WANTING TO ADOPT ANOTHER SOLDIER AND CAME ACROSS SOMETHING THAT BROKE MY HEART.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS NUMBER IS SO HIGH.
THEY RISK THEIR LIFE AND WE CAN’T SEND THEM A BOX ONCE A MONTH. A CARD, A POST CARD, A LETTER??

I WANT TO CHALLENGE YOU IF YOU ARE READING THIS.
PLEASE GO ADOPT A SOLDIER. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO SHOW THEM THAT WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THEY DO DAILY FOR US.I KNOW NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFORD TO ADOPT A SOLDIER, BUT YOU CAN SIGN UP TO SEND THEM CARDS, LETTERS. ONE TIME PACKAGES. I’VE HAD A SOLDIER BEFORE WHO JUST WANTED TO EMAIL. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO HELP AND I’D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU MADE THE EFFORT.

ADOPT A SOLDIER HERE.

THANK YOU FRIENDS.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
