Donate to the Troops

Post by Augustus »

The holiday season is upon us once again and along with festivities it is also time to think of those that can not be with their loved ones. Politics aside- the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan could use our help.

Two sites I recommend:
Books for Soldiers
If you have old Books, CDs or DVDs that you don't use anymore. Pass them on - the troops will be grateful for what ever they can get.

Cell Phones for Soldiers
Got an old cell phone you don't use anymore? Box it up and send it in. They will recycle it and send out phone cards or new phones to the field so the troops can call home.

Hm, I've got an old cell phone I'm not using. Donating it would seem to be a pretty nice thing.
