Euty, I’ve mentioned this to the family services representative for Airman’s unit, and will bring the URL with me when I see her this Saturday. Hopefully, I’ll have a mailing address for those who want to correspond by mail.

Just updated with the newer entries, plus Gaudere put together some nifty graphics for us!
This was a great idea Euty. I know that the troops will appreciate the warm thoughts and prayers.
Two personal experiences:
During the invasion of Afghanistan my daughter was deployed on one of our carriers. I sent her a lot of cards and some “care” packages. I also sent some cards to her shipmates that were signed by some of the people in my office. When I took a tour of the ship when it came home, those young sailors thanked me for the cards, and told me they were thrilled that we cared enough to take the time to write to them.
When I was in Viet Nam, my youngest sister was in the 6th grade. Her class sent me a letter that had a short note from each student. Reading the comments, thoughts, questions, and good wishes from 11-12 year old kids was pretty damn cool.
I know the troops that are deployed now will appreciate hearing from folks at the SDMB.
Thanks,
DT
I’ve sent the link to my nephew, who is in the Air Force. He is going to try to get it to some friends who have been deployed.
Thanks, again, Euty, for doing this.
Thanks for doing this Mr. Euty
