Some of my regular blog visitors notice that I post soldier names from time to time…this names come from a friend Kelley who works with an SOS group out of Ohio.<\/p>\n

General notes:<\/p>\n

These are generally for when somebody is fairly new to a unit or just not getting a lot of mail. Please keep in mind…a lot of the time, these people are married or have girlfriends. We’re looking to offer support. It’s not a dating service or…uh, more. It’s odd that I have to say this, but I have to say this because more than a few people received letters that were inappropriate, to say the least. From total strangers. I don’t know who sent it, I don’t know the connection happened here via my blog or someplace else and it doesn’t matter. Please…don’t do this.<\/p>\n

When you write, if you include an email, they often will write back. \ud83d\ude42 Again, remember, we’re looking to offer to support and just a connection from back home. They do appreciate it.<\/p>\n

Do not<\/em> repost these things to facebook. They prefer that we not do that. Thank you.<\/p>\n

For those posts about mail\/cards, etc…<\/p>\n

I have been asked before if these are names current and legit-yes, to the best of my\u00a0knowledge. \u00a0As I posted above, Kelley works with an SOS (Support Our Soldiers<\/a>) unit out of Ohio. \u00a0 She often gets names directly from people who are stationed overseas.<\/p>\n

The first thing generally requested from anybody wishing to contact the men and women is just a letter or card. \u00a0Include your email if you feel comfortable, because they often write back.<\/p>\n

Many people here stateside then go on to send care packages. \u00a0The info below addresses that.<\/p>\n

I always get a lot of questions and because I can’t remember anything<\/em>, I always end up having to ask Kelley repeatedly.<\/p>\n

Instead of doing that, I’m just putting together a page and I’ll refer questions to this page.<\/p>\n

Kelley’s typical care packages consist of:<\/p>\n
