Please consider helping our troops
We have a free subscription to Sports Illustrated. Now that it is baseball season, neither my husband nor myself really read the issues. We have dropped back issues off at various locations in the past – doctor’s offices, the gym, etc. I was thinking about whether or not they could be put to better use.
After a little bit of searching on the internet, I found a site call Any Soldier. Please visit the site – the general idea is that military members overseas notify the site of their needs. Quite honestly, I was amazed at the simplicity of some of the requests. If you have extra razors, hygiene or sanitary items, reading material, or prepackaged food, there is a soldier that would greatly appreciate them.
In addition, many of the troops are requesting toys to hand out to the children. I think that this is a great opportunity to teach my son about giving to others – we’re going to pick out a couple of his smaller toys (so that the troops can carry them easily) to send over.
Without getting too political about my thoughts on the war, I can easily say that I support our troops and everything that they do for us. I want to do more then just say that I support them.
What do you do? What do you plan on doing?
Wow! This site it awesome! Now I know what to do with all of my drugstore freebies
Thanks!

Becky,
It’s so funny you mention that – I haven’t been going to CVS for awhile now, since we’re really stocked up. However, I just went to our store to pick up an ad for this week – I think that I might start going again just to get some things for care packages.
I’m glad you like the site!
