Without support, our Troops morale level would be slim to none. Since September 11th the Soldiers of our Great Nation have been fighting for a cause so noble that they are mentioned every day in the news. Articles on September 11th are all over the Internet. It is extremely sad that something like this was the cause of the increased recognition, but Soldiers deserve support in any way we can provide it.



You do not have to send our Soldiers expensive care packages or write long support letters to show that you support them. Give them something that they really need like discount international military phone cards or some stamps so they can communicate with their loved ones without delay. There are many non-profit organizations that offer discount international military phone cards that can be donated to the Soldiers overseas. Since September 11th, many non-profit organizations have lost publicity because of the big phone card companies trying to get their piece of the pie. These non-profit organizations exist to support our troops and most provide better services than the big names in the phone card industry. These organizations are trying to build something positive in memory of September 11th.

Most of the care packages our soldiers receive contain candies and personal hygiene items they either already have, or they can easily obtain at the PX. The PX, or Post Exchange, has a motto, We go where you go. If you can get something at the local WalMart, the Soldiers can probably get at the PX. Something you may want to keep in mind is that items like discount military phone cards can be purchased at the PX but they only carry big named cards that have hidden rates. If you could send Soldiers a quality phone card or personal card to support our troops, they would have much better use for it than a box of broken cookies, or a letter like thousands of others saying how much you appreciate them.

Whether your military donation is in the form of a discount military phone card, a book of stamps or just a simple letter attempting to boost their moral, you have supported the war on terror in one way or another and you should be proud. If you are not able to make a donation like this, maybe you could just compose a heart felt letter in memory of September 11th reminding our warriors that their fight is for a noble cause. To all of those murdered in the attacks on September 11, 2002, their family members who have to deal with their loss every day and the countless number of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines that have given their lives for a more peaceful world, our hearts go out to you and we thank you all for your enormous sacrifice.
