I found a way to make a difference and do something good for someone else ... I have turned in an application for Adopt A Platoon ... not everyone gets to do it but I sure hope they pick us ... it sounds like a wonderful program ... I have to adopt a soldier ... since I can't really afford to adopt the whole platoon ... but I am thinking of asking work if we can adopt a platoon if this works out ...


check out their List of Suggestions for things the soldiers need and want ... they are totally do-able ... as I read it I thought ... "well I get a lot of that stuff for myself ... it wouldn't be hard to just grab an extra" ... so that is what I plan to do ...


you have to send a card a week of encouragement and at least one care package a month ... but I think I would send more than that ... it is such an easy thing to do ... and can you image how happy it will make someone ... I am feeling a little weepy thinking about it ...


so if you are wanting to do something for the men and women serving our country please check out the AdoptAPlatoon.org website ...
