We are a military town and as such have very close ties to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. My husband is currently deployed in Iraq (his third deployment) and I also have many friends and clients that are deployed. Some are past clients and some are clients I am currently working with.
I make it a point to send out care packages to as many of them and as often as I can. When the war first began, everybody was concerned about it. There were churches, schools and other organizations geting together to prepare care packages for our deployed soldiers. Not anymore! It is a shame! Our soldiers still need our support and care just as they did when this war first started! I know the military families and organizations still continue to work on this, but the rest of the population seems to have forgotten about it! It is not their fault for being there! So, make a note to yourself to do something about it next time you get a chance. Make your next giving - a gift to a lonely, hot, tired, and home sick soldier. Call upon your office colleagues to make one care box per office and send it to Iraq or Afghanistan! It will lift their spirits! ... and yours too!
