Oh, and emails. I’ve sent them all. I’ve received a letter and a couple of emails. Seems like a nice guy. In fact, I should return the email now and get another card in the mail.

How to adopt a soldier
It made me
EVEN MORE AMAZiiNG
 "Phenomenal women do Phenomenal things!!!♥"
How I did it: Well for years I have wanted to do it just never really had the will power to make it happen. But now it's 2009 and I feel that I am going to accomplish everything that I didn't have the nerve to do in 2007 or 2008. I just want to pay it forward and do something nice for someone and then maybe someone will recognize and then want to do something good for others. So I looked online and found the site Adoptaussoldier.org and I applied and within 3 days I had my soldiers infromation!!! Lessons & tips: Pay it forward When you notice that somebody has done something nice for you, make a note in your mind to practice three acts of kindness towards other people.

Wrote letters at least once a week Sent a package about once a month Sent post cards from my travels Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I joined www.adoptaplatoon.com where I signed up to be a pen pal to 1 soldier. I committed to sending 1 letter a week via snail mail. This may not sound like a large commitment, but after a while, one a week is hard to do. What do you say to a stranger? What do you send to continually make it interesting? He's sent me a couple of letters back, and we've emailed a bit, so I feel at least I'm doing someth… Read how I did it…

I should say I am doing this

But I haven’t DONE this. I adopted a soldier from adoptaplatoon.com. I’ve sent several cards/notes and 1 care package. I received my first letter from him the other day and am enjoying the correspondance. I hope that, if nothing else, getting a piece of mail brightens his day.
On top of that, my Shelly Belly is in Kuwait and I’m writing her the same time I write him. She loves it.

I don’t support war, and I don’t support the excuses that our government has given to be in this war. That doesn’t matter, though. I would not be supporting the government by adopting a soldier; I would be supporting an individual, a human being, who is probably in a rough spot and could use a friend. So that’s the idea.
My Soldier!

I finally got my soldier information he is SSG Matthew Rubins, and I’m very excited to start writing to him. I’ve e-mailed him to let him know who I am. Let the excitement ensue! I’ll update from time to time to say how he is fairing.
I’m very excited.
Soon!

I should be getting assigned my soldier any day now! I’m very excited about doing this. Showing my soldier support, sending care packages and what not. I signed up on the 10th, and tomorrow is the 15th, so hopefully in the next two days or so! Yay!
In the process!

Well I’ve registered with adoptaussoldier.org, and I am awaiting assignment of my soldier. My concern is I’m not big on words what do I say to them besides….”Thank you for sacrificing your life.” Any opinions? I would like to send a care package as well…I’m excited!
Adpopt a U.S. soldier

No politics here. Just show your support for our (your/my) brothers, sisters, moms, dads, uncles…....you get the idea. They need to know YOU remember them and love them without regards to your feelings about a/the war.
personal items, snacks, and rec. items. It ain’t cheap to adopt nor is the blood of our sons and daughters.
Go to http://adoptaussoldier.org or just Google adopt a soldier. You’ll find hunreds of U.S. servicemen and women that are waiting to hear from you.
I hope none of you ever feel the loneliness of battle, the boredom and terror. Pray for those that do.
