When I was in the service it was always great to get a letter from home. When the ships I was on deployed overseas, it was even more important. Heck, it was great getting junk mail. Today we look at a site that helps get our troops messages from home, to let them know that we support them and the service that they are providing to our nation.

Fan Mail For Our Troops is a site where you can send fan mail to the soldiers, sailors, and marines that are on the front lines around the world. This organization has undertaken this task to help keep up the morale of our troops. The impact of mail from home has a profound affect on that morale, more than you can imagine.

“My son is deployed… I submitted his name and address to your Web site, and he just e-mailed me today saying that he had received over 300 ‘troop fan mail’ letters. He was so touched, as well as his entire unit. As a Mom, I want to say a huge, big ‘THANK YOU, YOU ALL ARE GREAT!’ I appreciate your making my son feel appreciated and sharing some happiness. Thanks again.”

“Thank you each and every one of you. Don’t let anyone stop you. You are doing a smashing job. God bless you all. Happy Holidays.”

“Thank you for your letter about your organization’s… efforts… I commend all… who have participated in this program. Many of the American servicemen and women must be away from friends and families for long periods. I know that the mail they receive provides an important link to home and can ease the loneliness of being away from loved ones. Best wishes… “

So take a few minutes out of your harried everyday world, and drop a line to one of our servicemen or women. It will be more appreciated than you realize.
