Serving in the military is one thing, but serving the military is another. When the troops go and fight for our freedom they count on our support. Morale is one of the highest concerns along with a distinct connection to friends and family. In the field or even at the home station, two things help support the troops and allow them to connect.
In the end we all try to do our part for the soldiers out there defending themselves and other Americans for the whim of political battles and world rights. These are just some ways some people are trying to give back; you will find other ways through care packages, letters, or just a thank you on the street.
Our American soldiers are committed to protecting the freedoms we may take for granted, however you and I can make a decision right now to help the families of these heroes and injured soldiers alike by contributing to various programs dedicated to helping our dedicated soldiers and their families.
Making contributions to various organizations in order to help the troops financially is important; however, even more important than that is to support them. If sending money is not an option, a show of personal support has a larger impact then you can imagine, a letter from you or your children is the very best thing to send as a care package goes a long way in the moral support of these heroes.
