I spent Saturday morning volunteering with the USO, putting together care packages for deployed service members. Although I don’t personally know anyone currently serving in the military, I recognize all the sacrefices our troops and their families make to serve our country, and feel compelled to do my part to try and let them know that they are appreciated. (Also, it’s no secret that I love a man in uniform.)
These care packages are filled with everyday sorts of items; trail mix, razors, toilet paper, Tang, peanuts, copies of Reader’s Digest. Quite honestly, things they’ll prolly never wanna see again once they’re home. But it’s something, and hopefully let’s them know that there are people in the US who care and haven’t forgotten that they’re out there.
If you have a friend or loved one that you’d like to see a shipment of care packages to, please leave a comment with the following info:
•The Service Member’s or Senior Ranking Officer Name •Unit •APO address •Number of persons in the unit
I’ll pass the info along to the USO DC Metro office, and they will make sure the unit is added to their list of unit requests.
Support the Troops!
