Here are a few ways to let our troops know that our hearts are with them:

You can send an e-mail to a serviceman/woman.[here](http://anyservicemember.navy.mil/).

Or, send a simple thank you, [here](http://www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html).

Or, request a penpal here [here](http://www.uso.org/pubs/8_27_216.cfm)

I originally posted the above links in the Pit. I think they may be more useful here in MPSIMS.

This thread is not to be turned into a debate about whether the war is right or wrong. It is meant to give others a way of telling our troops that we are grateful and proud.

Come home safe and come home soon, everyone.
