Letters to Soldiers

Not many people filled out cards for our soldiers overseas. So,we thought that we would give you another chance. So, in the spirit of remembering the people who fought for our freedom 230+ years ago, let's tell the men and women who are fighting for freedom right now that we appreciate them.

You can bring cards and letters to the service on Sunday and place it in the box at the back table. The cards and letters will be mailed through an organization called, "Any Soldier"(www.anysoldier.com). We will be sending letters and cards to two soldiers to distribute to their troops. One is a Sergeant in the army serving in Iraq until November. His team is an all male unit from TX that is working to train and educate their Iraqi counterparts on various subject matters. The other is a 22 year old Specialist also from TX (FtHood) in Iraq until Jan08 who is part of a Medical unit that does Combat Stress Control. Their mission is to help those soldiers in need of help so they can continue their day to day activities.

This is a great project to get the kids involved in, either writing letters or drawing pictures. We will also be sending letters to Mason Hagen at bootcamp and Ethan Shrader (stationed in North Carolina)so if you'd like to write letters directly to them that is cool too.
