I want my girls scouts troop to participate in making cards to send to the soldiers this year. The cards will be made on Thursday to send out on Friday. What are some websites where I can find information on how to take part in one of the christmas cards for soldiers campaigns?
email me if you would like to send to the recovering soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Hospital. You can also contact the USO as they are always looking for letters and such to mail. they would not be able to be sealed so they could be checked prior to sending. sadly people take advantage of the situations. even on this board someone (me) was stupid enough to want to help out a military person and was taken advantage of so.... you have to be warry. now i just have the guys i know over there give me names!

Soldier gets standing ovation from Island Lake school
The nearly 660 students at Cotton Creek Elementary School in Island Lake gave a standing ovation to U.S. Army Sgt. Adam Colon, of Lakemoor, after he spoke to them about perseverance.
But that's not all they gave him.
Colon, who grew up in Lake Zurich, returned to thank students for the care packages, cards and letters he and his unit received while serving in Iraq.
"They really helped us out over there," Colon said. "They really boosted our morale and gave us comfort."
Colon was deployed in February 2009, and served for a year in Qwest and at the Joint Base Balad in Iraq.
"Every time we sent a package, we had the kids write letters and cards," school secretary Jean Musser said.
