No matter what your political stance or opinion, we still have to remember those that are helping to preserve and protect our way of life. Especially this time of year. Being away from family and friends is difficult at any time, but around the holidays, it is especially difficult.

This is a legitimate request. These are real addresses and real people in need. Let's let them know that we love them and support their sacrifices for our country.

No, I don't expect you to write to every single one of these, but if you have a few free moments to send even one, I know it would be greatly appreciated. And also keep in mind to not always choose the first on the list or those stating they never get mail, because everyone will choose those. I would like every one of these to get at least one letter or package.

Also, even if you send a letter to someone overseas, a regular 37 cent stamp will get it there!

If you would like to receive email alerts for more soldiers in need, please sign up at http://www.ConservativeAlerts.com/.

God Bless and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you all.

List from Mike Ruffner GySgt USMC Retired

Have an extra Christmas Card, Cookies or Holiday Specials to
share with the warriors protecting our way of life? Pick a
name, pass it on, let them know we support them! Get them
to the schools and churches also! Semper Fi!

asking for books, mags, and treats for soldiers; NOTE: this major has over 9000 in his regiment...if you mail to him asking him
to pass out to the soldiers, they WILL write back...they are
desperate for mail....this unit is the one that lost SIXTEEN
soldiers in the Chinook helicopter...every one of the soldiers
had a service in Iraq and it was quite devastating for his
soldiers

Thank you for posting these addresses. I'm going to write a letter today. Maybe this is just the thing I need. Instead of thinking about my own sorrows, maybe I can bring a smile to someone else.

Thanks again. :)

That's the spirit Double! I'm thinking I will give this to our youth at chruch and see if they can get together some items to be sent and some letters as well. I'll try to get some cards in the mail as soon as possible too. Thanks for alerting us. :)

Thanks for posting the addresses. I don't support the war, but I do support the troops.
