Make a positive difference and put a smile on a soldier's face not just during May, National Military Appreciation Month, but every month! I've been sending care packages to our troops for fifteen years. Many of them do not get a lot of correspondence from family and friends and would love to know that a perfect stranger cares enough to send letters and care packages. You can even incorporate the Kindness Project with care packages to show support to our military men and women. To learn more, see my blog on the Kindness Project at:

Another thought would be to join the efforts of National Make a Difference Day and campaign your friends and family to join in on sending a goal of 100 care packages and letters for example to troops overseas. Feel free to check out my blog on National Make a Difference Day for further information and ideas at:

They need our support not just during times of war, holidays and national military appreciation month, but always. Help boost morale and show support through sending letters and care packages to our troops serving to protect our country and our freedom! Become a penpal to a service man or woman and send items for them to share with their fellow soldiers. You can find out more information on sending care packages and becoming a penpal for our military personnel at the following links:
