Angels Support Wounded Troops
An Internet community of support for troops overseas called Soldiers' Angels works to support wounded soldiers with backpacks filled with needed items, making personal visits and phone calls. One project, "Project Valour-IT," provides wounded troops with laptops to use from their homes and hospital beds. More than 80,000 "angels" are registered all over the world, not including the many schools, churches and other organizations that participate as communities. For more information, visit the Soldiers' Angels website and the Project Valour-IT website.
Group Helps Deployed GIs' Children
More than 115,000 kids have at least one parent deployed in the war on terrorism, and that does not include those children affected by routine deployments, according to an organization that supports military children. Salute Our Services supports servicemembers in every branch of service and their families with financial grants. The goal of the grants is to keep children of deployed servicemembers engaged in the activities they enjoy. Salute Our Services also hosts event around the country for the children as well as sending them letters of thanks. The organization has offered its services to the children of deployed servicemembers in 45 states during the past five years. For more information, visit the Salute Our Services website.

Soldier's Angels is an awsome group.........I've had two soldiers since 2003, and have made two friends for life.
Great job here, RJay....We must never allow the crap which happened to our troops in and after the Korean and Vietnam Wars to every happen again.
You're a good man, Pero.
